The long awaited confirmation of Jazz Richards' signing for Cardiff City was completed on Tuesday.
The Welsh international full back worked with Paul Trollope for Wales and he made a brief appearance against Slovakia in Bordeaux last month.
He spent time as a youth at Cardiff before a six year spell at Swansea. He moved to Fulham in 2015 and played much of last season. Scott Malone was swapped in the deal and he has left Cardiff City and signed for Fulham.
"It’s brilliant to be back in Wales and I think it’s a big opportunity for me to come and play games," he said
"I was here as a youngster and enjoyed every minute of it when I was here, so I’m glad to be back."
"I've trained with the gaffer before and we've spoken a little bit. I can see what type of manager he is going to be and that's what has drawn me into the team.
"I just want to come and play games and do well for the club. I know a couple of the boys and I'm looking forward to getting started.
"I've not played a game in a while so it will be good to get some game time and fitness before the season."
Paul Trollope, who has spent the summer training Richards and his Wales team-mates at Euro 2016, added: "I think he'll add some different attributes to what we've got. "I think he’ll fit nicely with how we’re going to try and work, the philosophy, and the style we’re going to play with.
"He’s obviously a player I know well from the Welsh set-up, and introducing another Welsh element was another big factor as well. I’m really delighted and excited about him playing for Cardiff this year."
