Bothroyd will go into Sunday’s Swansea City v Cardiff City derby at the Liberty Stadium knowing that a victory would move the Bluebirds back ahead of the Swans in the promotion race.
Swansea currently hold a two point advantage in that race and also know that victory will give them the first ever league double in meetings between the two sides.
โWe are determined to beat Swansea โ it would be a massive victory,โ Bothroyd told Cardiff City Player.
โIโm not from Cardiff, but I consider myself a Cardiff boy. Iโm settled here and really enjoy the banter I have with our fans.
โTo play for Cardiff City in our local derby is a massive thing for me to be involved in.
โI want to help this club get to the Premier League,โ said Bothroyd. โI really believe we can do it this season.”
