Omer Riza has turned the spotlight on Cardiff City owner Vincent Tan by calling for clarity over the managerial position at the club. His bold move comes after the interim boss further strengthened his hand by gaining another convincing victory for a team he has picked off the floor.

Newport County manager Nelson Jardim praised his team’s character as a 2-0 away win at Gillingham moved his team up to 13th spot in League Two. First-half goals from Matt Baker and Kyle Hudlin secured Newport a much-needed victory at out-of-sorts Gillingham.

Joe Schmidt has bolstered his 34-srong Grand Slam chasing Wallabies squad for their clash against Wales in the Autumn Nations Series by recalling 2023 World Cup players Samu Kerevi and Will Skelton. Skelton, who captained the Aussies against Georgia at the World Cup, and Kerevi have not featured in this year’s internationals to date, but are among five fresh faces brought into the tour party by Schmidt.

Luke Williams has admitted to growing frustration over Swansea City’s lack of fire power. Although they gained a useful point in a draw at Sheffield Wednesday on Tuesday night, it was a 0-0 stalemate - meaning the Swans have not scored in more than seven hours of football and their winless run now

Hockey Wales have expressed their “deep disappointment” at the decision to drop the sport from the 2026 Commonwealth Games. Hockey – along with a number of other sports, including rugby sevens, T20 cricket, triathlon, diving, squash and badminton – have all been excluded from the Games programme for Glasgow.

Warren Gatland has insisted he has no desire to "protect my own backside" while seeking to end Wales's losing streak in international rugby. Wales head into next month's Tests at home to Fiji, Australia and world champions South Africa on a run of nine straight defeats, with the team's most recent Test victory coming against Georgia during last year's Rugby World Cup in France.

Wales’ Olympic medallist Sarah Jones has insisted some of her best memories in hockey came playing for Great Britain as she revealed she was retiring from the GB squad. The decision marks the end of a six-year career at the sport's highest level.

Warren Gatland has turned to a couple of new faces from outside of Wales in a bid to turn the tide in results this autumn. Gloucester second-row Freddie Thomas and Scarlets wing Blair Murray are the uncapped pair drafted in by Gatland for the November Tests. Thomas was born in the West Country whilst Murray is a New Zealander, but both qualify for Wales through their grandparents and in Murray’s case, his mother as well.

Five of the dozen JD Cymru Premier clubs were bundled out of the JD Welsh Cup on a bumper weekend of giant-killing acts in the first play-off round. Eliot Evans scored the only goal that took Cardiff Met through with a 1-0 win over Penybont at the home of current Cymru Premier leaders.

Alex Robertson believes Omer Riza’s five-goal job application deserves the thumbs up from Cardiff City owner Vincent Tan. Riza is four games into his interim stint in charge of the Bluebirds and has delivered seven points and eight goals to lift the club from bottom to 22nd in the Championship.
