Goalkeeper Tom Heaton has agreed a permanent return to Cardiff City after turning down the offer of a new contract at Manchester United.

The 24-year-old spent the whole of the 2008-09 season on loan at Ninian Park and is keen to try and secure regular first-team football.

Boss Dave Jones told the club's official website: "I'm pleased that we have secured Tom's services from Manchester United.

"We all know about the lad from his time on loan here and know that we have signed a very talented young player.

"United had offered him a new contract, but Tom's attitude was that he wanted to play, which says a lot about him as a player and a professional.

"He will certainly be a welcome addition to our ranks."
