CARDIFF have landed Bobby Reid from rivals Bristol City to complete a double swoop.
The forward, 25, joins stopper Alex Smithies in South Wales to become the Bluebirds' fourth summer arrival.
After signing a four-year deal, Reid said: “I’m delighted to be here and to be a Premier League player.
“I want to show my high energy and work rate, as well as being creative and working for the team. I’m buzzing to get started."
City boss Neil Warnock added: “By all accounts he’s great around the dressing room. He can play in a number of positions and his best is yet to come.
“Players like Bobby and Josh Murphy are hungry, and that is what we need now. We’re very happy to bring Bobby in.”
