Cardiff City goalkeeper Neil Etheridge says the players gave everything this season.

Their relegation was confirmed on the weekend in defeat to Crystal Palace.

"We gave everything we could throughout the season," Etheridge said.

"A lot of people wrote us off long before these final two games.

"We fought hard to the end, but unfortunately we fell short. The Premier League is a tough league to stay in.

"We need to take time off in the summer now and look forward to next season in the Championship.

"Thankfully, we've got a great squad and togetherness in the team and the club."
