Cardiff City have signed England Under-21 international Peter Whittingham from Aston Villa.
The Bluebirds have paid a reported £350,000 to the Premiership club to land the highly-rated young winger.
Whittingham has struggled to hold down a place in the first team following the arrival of Martin O'Neill as Villa boss at the start of the season.
"I've played over 50 games in the Premiership and have a bit of experience so hopefully I can bring something to the team," he told the club's official website.
"The move only really came about a week or so ago, but I was happy to do it, hopefully I can now settle down in a midfield role.
"Everyone knows what a massive fanbase the club has got and the manager sold the club to me."
