'I played in every position across the back four and in midfield for Aberdeen, while I was played on the right-wing by Berti Vogts for Scotland.
'Dave Jones sees me as a full-back and that suits me fine. I don't mind right or left, but they are my best positions.
'I can't wait to be a part of the Cardiff City team who run out for the first match at the new stadium.
'Sam Hammam and Dave Jones outlined their dreams - and I'll be there. I am excited about playing for Cardiff City - and my contract means I will be at the club when their stadium opens.
'Cardiff City are making progress. They are ambitious and I am ambitious.
'I am looking forward to playing in the Coca-Cola Championship next season, but long-term I want to be competing at Premiership level for Cardiff.
'I've won three caps for my country and I want more. If I can play a part in helping Cardiff City challenge for promotion and eventually go up that can only help my international ambitions.
'From what I've heard the Cardiff City fans are football crazy - and passionate.
'That's another plus for me. So many people have told me how much they love and support their club.'
'I had a few options, quite a few clubs were interested in signing me,' he continued.
'It was a huge decision in terms of my future. I was with Aberdeen for 10 years and it felt strange and emotional when I decided I had to move on.
'But I am convinced that in joining Cardiff City I have got it right.
'They are the main club in Wales and I am excited about the future.
