Cardiff City boss Neil Warnock has signed a new contract.

The former Crystal Palace manager has signed a new two-and-a-half year deal to stay on as Cardiff boss until he is 71.

Warnock, 69, has Bluebirds challenging for promotion from the Championship - with club sitting four points clear of third-placed Aston Villa.

The Welsh club has agreed to hand Warnock a new deal regardless of whether his team clinch promotion this season.

He held talks with Bluebirds chairman Mehmet Dalman after the 1-0 win over Bristol City in Sunday's Severnside derby.
