English League One side Cardiff City have completed the signing of Nigerian defender Gabriel Osho from French Ligue 1 club AJ Auxerre.

The 27-year-old centre-back penned a four-year contract with the Welsh club for an undisclosed fee, subject to international clearance.

Speaking to the club’s official website, Osho expressed his delight at the move, describing it as a long-awaited challenge he is eager to embrace.
