DONE DEAL: Ramsey returns to Cardiff

Wales captain Aaron Ramsey has joined Cardiff City on a two-year contract.

The former Arsenal and Juventus midfielder came through the Cardiff academy before joining the Gunners as a teen.

"It feels unbelievable to finally be back here. I always thought one day I'd come back, and now it's the perfect time to do that," Ramsey, who left Nice for Cardiff, said.

"To be back with my family and around familiar faces is just brilliant, so I'm delighted to be back here now. I've missed that a lot in the last year or so, so it was important for me to be back around them.

"Obviously I'm a Cardiff City fan, and watching them over the years since I've been away, we've had some low points but some big highs as well, being in the Premier League and representing Cardiff on the big stage.

"That's a target of mine - to try and help my team-mates and this club to get back to the top.

"I've said it many times in the past - I owe so much to Cardiff, to the fans, to everybody who has been at the club when I was here as a young boy coming through.

"For me now to come full circle, to be part of this team now, and hopefully achieve the goals we want, there's no better feeling than that."
