Parkin sorry for Twitter sarcasm

Cardiff City manager Malky Mackay says striker Jon Parkin has apologised for his outburst on Twitter. Parkin voiced his frustration at a lack of first-team opportunities, having only featured in the Carling Cup win over Oxford.

"Does anyone need a gardener? Looking for work," was the former Preston player's tweet after Cardiff's midweek defeat against Brighton & Hove Albion. Mackay conceded: "I get why he's disappointed."
