The academy surrounding Cardiff City has caused a huge sensation at this moment, and there is another group of children preparing to break out in the next few years.

In the past 18 months, Cardiff City’s talent conveyor belt has been well improved.

The gears are lubricated and run smoothly, which allows the enthusiastic Blue Jays supporters to re-inject pride into the club’s youth system.

In the past year or so, a large number of young people have gained first-team opportunities. Some have reached the height of international recognition, such as Mark Harris and Rubin Colewell, while others have begun to quietly work at the top. Impressed.

Recently this road has been cleaned up well; Manchester City's bloated first team has been streamlined to such an extent that the academy products now support a large part of the team. Although some people think this played an important role in the sluggish start of the Cardiff season, others think it will greatly benefit the club in the long run.

So, in the long run, who is the next group of young people who are ready to leave their mark?

Here are the players you may not have heard of, but in the coming months and years, you may hear more:

The 17-year-old has been in Cardiff since he was 8 years old.

Ashford is mainly a playmaker, but can play anywhere in the forward line. Now he is a very promising player in the youth academy. An exciting player who always pays attention to the academy believes that he has the ability to enter the first team in the near future.

Insiders in the academy said that as long as his football knowledge and maturity keep pace with his emerging talent for the ball, he can become anyone.

Ashford played for the under 23 youth team this season and left a deep impression. He did well in scoring and assisting.

From Cardiff's point of view, the downside is that other clubs have a lot of interest.

At the end of last season, Manchester City rejected the official six-figure offer from Leeds United. If he continues to follow this trajectory, it is not surprising to see other clubs in the near future, perhaps even Leeds United playing for him again.

The boy from Rhonda undoubtedly has great future potential and is definitely a name worthy of attention.

Another very exciting and talented forward player, he can play in any of the first four positions. He often participates in the Welsh Under-17 Junior Team and he will be with this team this week.

He is the younger brother of former Welsh Manchester City winger Rabbi Mattondo, and some people think he has the potential to surpass his brother.

Similar to Ashford, the 16-year-old has attracted a lot of outside interest and the club has done a very good job of retaining him so far.

He was a Cardiff boy who followed in the footsteps of the rabbi and passed the system since he was nine years old.

Crewe is one of Cardiff's under-16 players and a true leader at the age group level.

The 15-year-old received the honor of being the captain of the Welsh Under-16 Victory Shield team, which recently performed well in Belfast.

Crewe often played in the Welsh Under-17 youth team, which proved his high priority in the Welsh Youth Organization and Cardiff Academy.

He can play as a central defender or midfielder and has a wide range of passes. Technically speaking, he is unmatched in the age group with the ball under his feet.

He certainly has a bright future. A young Cardiff boy who has joined the club since he was under 8 years old.

The young forward has performed very well this season for the under-18 youth team, and he deserves to shoot for the under-23 youth team, and staged a hat trick after making such a big improvement.

His way of doing business is quick and old-fashioned. In this sense, he is a typical striker, but he also has a physical presence-all these factors can play a role in the next few years and make a deep impression.

Being fast and being able to enter behind the defender is all good, but Kroll is known as the best finisher in the club and he has proven this on many occasions recently.

The Bridgend product is a bit late, but he suddenly appeared on the scene in the past 18 months or so and caused a sensation in the academy, that’s for sure.

The club just hopes that the 17-year-old can continue this upward arc, and regularly enter the team under the age of 23, and eventually enter the first team.

Perret is a midfielder for Manchester City's under-16s.

He also recently joined the Victory Shield team with Charlie Crewe and four other members of Cardiff Academy.

The 15-year-old is an athletic and energetic midfielder. He focuses on scoring goals and takes world-class players home from time to time. All things considered, he seems to have everything the first team desires at the moment.

Technically speaking, he is very savvy and can serve as a point guard or as the No. 10 player. The club believes that he has great potential to grow into a very good midfielder in the next few years.

Perret from Glamorgan Valley has been working at the club since he was eight years old.

This is a trivial matter for everyone who is interested. Perret's father Darren once studied in Swansea. In fact, in the Welsh Cup game against Riel in December 1994, Perret Sr. maintained the record for the fastest hat-trick in Swansea history.
