Weight80 kg
Height1.88 m
PositionDefender

Having been a central defender in his Leeds United days Cardiff City manager Bobby Gould switched Kevin to a midfield role in a pre-season game and the move was so effective that he stayed in that position. Although he spent much of last season on a learning curve he featured regularly for the Bluebirds without really finding consistent form. He netted his first senior goal with a 20-yarder in the 2-0 home victory over Darlington and scored a total of five times during the campaign. Kevin continued to represent Wales at U21 level winning further caps against Norway and Poland in the autumn.

Kevin was placed on the Cardiff transfer list in August 2001 before his contract was cancelled by mutual consent twelve months later.
