Cardiff City FC can confirm that goalkeeper Joe Day has joined Bristol Rovers on loan.
The 30-year-old's loan deal at the League One side will run until 30th June 2021.
We'd like to wish Joe all the best while at the Memorial Stadium.
Joe's loan switch follows today's return of Aden Flint and Tom Sang from their loan spells at Sheffield Wednesday and Cheltenham Town respectively

Give Sang the 90 v Forest.
Let's be honest, it's a right old juggling act, trying to keep the wage bill under Uncle Vincent's limits.
Won't see him no more.
Yes, he came from Newport for treble his wages, £1500 basic at County I was told by a good source. And then, as stated above, it looked liker Smithies was to be offloaded (another expensive Warnock signing). I think the only played part of that first game, went on loan to Wimbledon last January and hasn't had a look in here. I feel sorry for the player, he obviously came here with high hopes and it hasn't worked out for him. And then we signed Phillips so the writing was on the wall.
I expect we are funding a large part of his wages with Rovers paying the rest, which is as good as we can expect right now. He needs games to impress club to take him in the summer.
I watched him playing for County in a few of their big cup games and he looked decent.
Because he paid £3.5m, then had him sat on the bench for a whole season and then looked to offload him summer 2019. All for £3.5m and a suspect £30k per week wages. He only came back in when Etheridge was injured last season. I have always liked Smithies when he was with Huddersfield and QPR and he was good last season, but decidedly average this season. I preferred Etheridge but one of them had to go.
We were going into the premier league with Brian Murphy as our backup goalkeeper, we needed someone who could step in if Etheridge got injured and could also put pressure on him for his place, Smithies was widely regarded as one of the best in the league at that point (and probably still is today), £3.5m is a relatively modest fee for a premier league club to pay and Smithies has gone on to serve the club very well. An excellent signing.
started well then
