POSITION SWITCH HAS NG ‘LOVING’ HIS TIME
PERRY Ng believes he can “thrive and improve” on the right side of Cardiff City’s three-man central defence.
The 25-year-old has been switched from wingback by boss Steve Morison and has linked up well with Cody Drameh and his former Crewe team-mate Ryan Wintle.
“I’m loving it. It’s a position I’ve always wanted to play,” he said.
“I think I can do a job at wing-back, but in this position I feel like I can really thrive and improve.
“I’m loving it, especially the way we’re playing at the minute.
“Cody has been fantastic to play with. He doesn’t stop running; sometimes I look at him and think he needs a rest!
“He’s a fantastic player, because he helps me defensively and he can get forward. He’s a joy to play with.
“Ryan followed me here and now he lives in the same block as me, so it’s nice to have him back.
“He’s helped the team so much since coming back. He’s a joy to play with as well, and I knew what he could do from back in our Crewe days.”
Ng reckons there are “exciting times ahead” for the Bluebirds under Morison, who replaced Mick McCarthy in October.
“It’s been much better, and we’re all enjoying it,” added Ng. “We’ve put together a few good performances and picked up quite a few points, so it’s been good to play in. I think there are exciting times ahead. We’ve got a real identity now with how we play, so I think that helps us.
“We’ve come a long way since the start of the season, and if we can keep training and working on a few more little tweaks, I think we can become a really good team.
“If we can build a few wins and get a bit of momentum going into next year, it will be brilliant.”
