Cardiff MET are set to sign former Cardiff City, Newport County, and Morecambe midfielder Aaron Wildig. The 34-year-old is expected to join the Cymru Premier side ahead of the upcoming season.

What's the background?

Wildig began his career at Cardiff City, where he captained the club's Under-18 side. He made his senior debut during the 2009–10 season and scored his first professional goal in a 5-1 defeat to Newcastle United.

How does this affect Cardiff MET?

The signing of Wildig will be a major boost for Cardiff MET, who have had a summer dominated by departures, with Spencer Dymond being the club's only new signing so far. Wildig's experience in the English Football League will be invaluable to the team.

What's the current state of play?

Cardiff MET's last result was a 2-2 draw against Flint Town United on 2026-04-18, with the team's recent form being 1W-2D-2L. The addition of Wildig to the squad will hope to improve this record.

What comes next?

Wildig will join the Met after spending last season with Gloucester City in the Southern League Premier Division. He featured in Met's pre-season friendly against Afan Lido over the weekend and is set to become the second former Cardiff City player to switch to the Cymru Leagues in the space of a week, following Michael Chopra's move to Cymru South side Trethomas Bluebirds.
