English League One club Cardiff City have announced the signing of Nigeria defender Gabriel Osho, Prompt News reports.
The 27-year-old moved to the Bluebirds on a permanent transfer from Ligue 1 club AJ Auxerre.
Osho put pen paper on a four-year contract with the Welsh club.
The centre-back is making a return to English football just one year after leaving for Auxerre.
“I’m really happy, and really excited. It’s been a long time in the works, so to finally be here at the stadium and in the city has been good. I’m buzzing to get going,” he told the club’s official website.
“Brian played a big part. It’s always important when the player has a good relationship with the manager. I had a really good time at Rochdale, and the connection I built with Brian and the staff there was pretty amazing. I think the relationship really was a contributing factor.
“I’ve been watching the games so far, and the atmosphere is amazing. Hopefully I can feed off the team’s momentum, get going straight away, and just keep the wins and the clean sheets going.”
