Sheffield Wednesday have moved swiftly to snap up recently released Cardiff City defender Darren Purse.
Purse, 32, has agreed a two-year deal at Hillsborough just days after leaving the Bluebirds.
"My main priority this summer is to sign players with quality and experience," manager Brian Laws told the club's official website.
"In Darren Purse we've secured the services of someone with both of those qualities in abundance.
"He has experience of getting promoted from this division and of playing at the very top level but most importantly he's a leader on the pitch.
"We already have some excellent young players at Sheffield Wednesday and Darren will help bring out the best in the other defenders around him."
