Ex-Swansea City striker Oli McBurnie's cheeky swipe at outgoing Cardiff City star after Sheffield Wednesday move

Former Swansea City striker Oli McBurnie has taken a playful swipe at outgoing Cardiff City star Callum Paterson, following the versatile forward's move to Sheffield Wednesday.

Paterson joined the Owls in a deal believed to be worth £500,000 earlier this week, after seemingly slipping down the pecking order under Cardiff boss Neil Harris.

The 25-year old took to Instagram shortly after his move to Hillsborough was confirmed, bidding an emotional farewell to City fans, while also suggesting he did not want to leave the Welsh capital.

That message was followed with an entry depicting him in the blue and white shirt of Wednesday, along with the caption: "Absolutely buzzing to be here!

"Can’t wait to get started with this massive club and to show everyone what I can do.

"So grateful for the opportunity to be here and hopefully I can repay everyone with some goals and help get the club moving in the right direction!

"Looking forward to playing with a smile on my face again!"

However, international team-mate McBurnie, currently plying his trade for Wednesday's bitter rivals United, couldn't resist a cheeky dig.

He replied: "From one honking team to another," before adding "Congrats pal see you soon."

McBurnie still has a soft spot for the Swans, having been pictured among travelling fans at Loftus Road and Cardiff City Stadium last season.

By the looks of things, he's now bought into the Blades too!
