<p>"I had a chat with the manager at Cardiff and there wasn't a way through for me there," he told BBC Essex.</p>
<p>"I'm here to play first team football as anything else would be a backwards step.</p>
<p>"I was on loan at Newport last season and what is there compared to the facilities here is much better with the training ground and the stadium"</p>
<p><span>Cardiff City said</span><br /><br /><span>"We&rsquo;d like to thank Tommy for his time with the Bluebirds and wish him the very best of luck for the future."</span></p>

Good luck to the lad, wish him all the best

Good move at the right level. Get some grit and urgency in your game Tommy and you can get to a much higher level.

Pob lwc!

Senior football will hopefully help him grow far more than waiting for his chance.

Still no first team appearance, quite worrying

He sustained a knee injury on February 6th (two weeks after joining Colchester) and still isn't back playing.

Hope he's back playing soon
