Firstly I’d just like to take the time to say a massive thank you to Cardiff City FC for everything they’ve done for me. The past 3 years we’ve had such an amazing time together, being promoted in my first season to the Premier League, and even though we were relegated we gave it a right go in the best league in the world! I would like to thank all you guys, the supporters for everything, all the people behind the scenes that make that club run so that we as players can get out there end entertain and of course all the players and friends that I played with during my time with the club. We made some fantastic memories together and I’ll never forget the part the Club and supporters played. I wish the club every success in the future #CityAsOne #Bluebirds #Cardiff #Wales

Etheridge also wished Cardiff City the best as he moved to Birmingham.

"We made some fantastic memories together and I'll never forget the part the Club and supporters played," said the goalkeeper.

One of the Etheridge's highlights in the Premier League include saving a penalty to give Cardiff its first away win against Leicester back in 2018.
