Cardiff City have signed Greece international defensive midfielder Manolis Siopis on a three-year deal.
Siopis, 29, was available on a free transfer after leaving Turkish club Trabzonspor.
"He [Siopis] is a fighter, who will work hard for the team," said Cardiff manger Erol Bulut, who worked with Siopis at former club Alanyaspor.
"The fans will like him and in the last few years, he has increased his technical skills with the ball."
Siopis started his career with Greek giants Olympiacos and was twice named in the Greece Super League team of the year. He also won the Turkish Super League and Super Cup with Trabzonspor.
Siopis' last competitive game was Greece's Euro 2024 qualifier against France in June, which they lost 1-0 at the Stade de France.
"Normally, a player like Manolis, when you try to take him, you can't take him," Bulut added.
"It's really difficult to get a player like this. I brought him to Alanyaspor and he took a really big step to Trabzonspor. When we saw that he became available, we contacted him and we have a really good relationship."
The Bluebirds are under a transfer embargo until next January which means they are only able to sign players on free transfers or loans.
