Exclusive: Millwall agree deal for Mahlon Romeo to join Cardiff City

Millwall defender Mahlon Romeo has clinched a move to Cardiff City.

The 26-year-old is joining the Welsh club for an undisclosed fee and has agreed a contract until the summer of 2025.

Romeo made 41 appearances for Portsmouth last season after joining them on loan in September.

The right-back, who is also comfortable in a back five, will link up again with his former Lions team-mate Steve Morison, who has been in charge at Cardiff since replacing Mick McCarthy in October 2021.

Romeo played 221 matches for Millwall and was a shrewd free transfer pick up by Neil Harris in the 2015 close season following his release by Gillingham.
