and Joe Ralls been made captain
Cardiff have appointed Joe Ralls as their new captain and have retired the club number seven shirt worn by late Bluebirds legend Peter Whittingham ⚽️#BBCFootball #Skipper #Cardiff
— BBC Sport Wales (@BBCSportWales) July 27, 2022
No number changes into the ‘main’ 11 for Colwill, Watters or Isaak Davies 😬
No number 9? Striker incoming 🤔🤔
No number 4 either - being held back for Sean Morrison 🤔
I'm pretty sure the #7 shirt was already retired last season.
Two Cardiff teams with no.7 retired City with Whitts. and Devils with Duggie.

Nice gesture, I still find it hard to believe what happened to Whitts.
If any player deserved their number retired it’s Whitts. A top class player and on the few occasions I interacted with him, a top class gent.
Truly a Cardiff city legend that will be talked about for decades.
Right decision from the club.
I've no idea if Colwill has chosen the 27 shirt but it's possible, especially as Isaak Davies picked his. I'm surprised it doesn't have more significance, I remember David Tutonda (twice) and Kadeem Harris taking the 27 shirt when they went out on loan a few years ago but it never seems to be have been exactly fought over here. I'd be moderately interested to find out if Colwill chose it himself.
