Dylan Lawlor has scored twice for Cardiff City in League One this season [Huw Evans Picture Agency] Former Cardiff City defender Danny Gabbison says there is "much more to come" from "super talented" Bluebirds youngster Dylan Lawlor. Lawlor has featured 28 times for Cardiff in League One this season in their bid to make an instant return to the Championship. The 20-year-old also featured regularly for Wales in the later stages of their unsuccessful campaign to reach this summer's World Cup finals.
"He's a talent, the boy," Gabbidon told BBC Sport Wales. "I think the biggest thing that's impressed me about him, having met him a couple of times, is his attitude and his application and his professionalism. "I think we've all seen the talent that he has so early in his career.
"He makes the game look really easy at times. And defending, you don't see many young centre-backs that play with his level of maturity, so young. "Obviously, he's still learning.
He's got a long way to go. " Dylan Lawlor has won five senior caps for Wales having appeared at various youth levels. [Huw Evans Picture Agency] A product of the Cardiff City academy, Caerphilly-born Lawlor made his senior debut for the club against Aston Villa in the FA Cup in February 2025.
