According to reports, Cardiff City striker Adam Le Fondre is believed to be leaving the club with Wolves emerging as front runners.
The 28 year old is currently out of favour at the Bluebirds after spending the second half of last season on loan at Bolton Wanderers.
Le Fondre began his professional career at Stockport County in 2004 after coming through the youth ranks at the Greater Manchester club. He altogether made 63 appearances for the club netting on 18 occasions. He was loaned out Rochdale who then made the move permanent for the 2007/08 season.
He spent two seasons at Rochdale, the 2008/09 season was one to remember for the forward picking the top goalscorer award and most of the clubs top awards. He attracted the interest of Rotherham United and they signed him in August 2009.
Le Fondre had two magnificent seasons at the South Yorkshire outfit, firstly in the 2009/10 season. He scored 25 league goals in The Millers surge to the League Two play-offs and scored in both the 1st and 2nd legs, narrowly missing out in the final in a 3-2 defeat to Dagenham & Redbridge. He once again took League Two by storm the following season and once again was the clubs leading scorer with 23 league goals in 45 games. Rotherham failed to get promotion and Le Fondre left the club with a crazy record of 54 goals in 96 games.
Reading signed him for the 2010/11 season for a fee of £350k. He played a big part in Reading’s championship winning season scoring crucial goals against Southampton and Crystal Palace. He remained a Reading player and was to play in the Premier League for the first time. For most of the season Le Fondre was on the bench, but he made a huge impact coming off it. Bagging himself 5 goals in January and a Player of the Month award. Reading were subsequently relegated and faced The Championship once again.
His last season at Reading was once again successful, scoring 15 goals in 38 games including back-to-back hat-tricks against Bolton and Blackpool. An offer from Cardiff was accepted and he made the move to Wales in May 2014. He took part in 21 games for the Bluebirds last season before dropping to the bench and being sent out on loan to Bolton. His time at Bolton was successful, scoring 8 goals in 17 games including 2 against Millwall at the Macron Stadium.
A proven goalscorer at all the clubs he has been at, he would make great competition with the likes of Afobe, Murphy and Clough. Depending on what Cardiff’s asking price is, he could be a great signing for any Championship club.
