Gestede working with sprinter Campbell

Cardiff City striker Rudy Gestede has revealed that former British sprinter Darren Campbell has been working with him in recent weeks.

The 24-year-old has been absent for most of this campaign due to a knee injury and claimed that Olympic silver medalist Campbell has helped him change his running technique.

Gestede said: "I can learn from him [Campbell] because he was one of the best sprinters in the world.

"I have worked with him for a couple of weeks now.

"I try to run in a different way and now I am not injured anymore, so I think it is a good thing for me."

Gestede netted the winner against Millwall on Saturday.
