On-loan Town full-back Gary Croft has reiterated that he wants to remain at Cardiff even after his spell is up at the end of the play-offs. The Bluebirds go into Wednesday's home leg against Stoke 2-1 up from Sunday's game at the Britannia Stadium.

Croft said: "I'm happy to remain if things work out. Whether they will, time will tell. But what I can say with certainty is this - Cardiff ARE a big club."

Manager Lennie Lawrence has a history of buying players he has taken on loan but has previously said that any bid for Croft would depend on Cardiff going up.
