Former Manchester City attacker Craig Bellamy says he's joined Cardiff City to lift them into the Premier League.
The Bluebirds missed out on promotion to the top flight of English football when they were beaten by Blackpool in May's Championship play-off final.
And Bellamy, who was today paraded on the pitch in front of fans chanting 'Bellamy's a Bluebird', added: "It will be big for south Wales if we get back to the Premier League.
"Even if Swansea got up it would be great for us in this country. Young kids would get the chance to see great players."
He joked: "Dave (manager, Jones) being here...it will be nice to come home without him being at my doorstep. That will be a relief. I'll get to see him every day now."
Jones revealed he had been considering a swoop for Bellamy for much of the summer.
Jones said: "We've been talking about this behind closed doors for a few months.
"I wanted to make sure he was coming for all the right reasons, not just because his family's here but to help this club achieve what we all want.
"To get a player of his calibre is a massive coup for the football club. This just doesn't happen.
"The pressure will be on us. The next stage is for this club to be promoted, that's what we're trying to do."
