Cardiff City Welcomes New Youngest Player in History
John Toshack held the record for being Cardiff City's youngest player for 42 years, followed by Aaron Ramsey for 18 years. Now, Rob Tankiewicz has set a new record, albeit for just 64 minutes.
Midfielder Rob Tankiewicz made his debut in the EFL Trophy match against Newport County at the age of 16 years and 117 days, breaking the record previously held by Wales captain Aaron Ramsey, who debuted at 16 years and 123 days in 2007. This also surpassed Toshack's longstanding record from 1965.
However, just as Tankiewicz was beginning to celebrate his achievement, he was substituted for Axel Donczew, who is even younger at 15 years and 234 days.
Both players are attacking midfielders, developed through Cardiff's academy and have represented Wales at youth levels, although they are also eligible to play for Poland.
