His last match was a 1-0 home victory for Wycombe over Millwall on 20 February. This match saw former PNE player Gareth Ainsworth sent off for Wycombe just six minutes after coming on as a substitute in the 71st minute.
His last Cardiff match was a 1-0 home defeat to Newcastle on 13 September 2009, when the Magpies Alan Smith was red carded in the 90th minute.
