Aaron Ramsey insists he hasn't returned to Cardiff City to go through the emotions.

The former Arsenal star joined Cardiff on a two-year deal after leaving Nice.

"I always knew in the back of my mind that I'd come back one day," said Ramsey.

"I think now is the right time. I didn't want to just come back to see out a year or something then at the end of my career just to do it as a token gesture sort of thing.

"I want to come back while I still feel like I can perform and help this team."
