Cardiff boss Brian Barry-Murphy says Joel Colwill is "just as valuable" as older brother Rubin and he is "very grateful" to have them both in his squad. "Rubin's done really well to get back fit, but Joel is making huge strides in his own right," said Barry-Murphy. He has an insatiable appetite to improve, he loves the game, he loves the team he's playing for. "You can feel it in the way that he trains he's very competitive, very competitive against his brother, very competitive against his team-mates and very competitive against the opponents. "It's always been a competitive rivalry; we both push each other as much as we can."
