Joe Ralls - Cardiff City (10 years, 11 months, 9 days)

With two promotions on his Bluebirds CV since joining Cardiff City from Aldershot as a teenager, the midfielder has gone on to add two winner's medals to his collection, ascending from the Sky Bet Championship in 2012/13 and 2017/18.

Being a pedant, Ralls joined us from Farnborough, but, that aside, it shows how staff turns over so quickly in the Championship where the pressure on clubs to get promotion is that much greater than in the lower leagues - he’s the longest serving current Championship player by a distance and I suppose this should be borne in mind if he does decide to move on.

Well spotted.

I know he won the Champ under Malky but I could have sworn we were runners up under Warnock.

The list had been published now, he's not down as retained but it says he has been offered a contract. Does that mean he has until the end of the month, when the current contract expires, to decide whether or not to accept?

No he can sign anytime.

He will be without pay end of month so I reckon he signs with us or someone else before then.
