Cardiff City sign Bamba

The Ivory Coast international left Leeds at the start of this season due to personal reasons and has now joined Cardiff after agreeing to terminate his contract at Elland Road.

Cardiff manager Neil Warnock told the club's website: "I tried to sign Sol a few years ago when he was at Leicester, on a couple of occasions. They didn't come off then, but now is the right time and opportunity to bring him in.

"Sol's a leader and he's another good addition for us".

Bamba added: "I'm excited to be here. I always want to work with the gaffer, so as soon as this chance arose I jumped at it.

"I know the league very well and am looking forward to offering my experience and leadership".

The defender is Neil Warnock's third signing, after he brought in Marouane Chamakh and Junior Hoilett.
