"Josh is a player I've watched for a number of years now and he's always excited me when he runs with the ball," Cardiff boss Neil Warnock told the club's official website.

"I think he's at the right age now with his best still to come. He can play an instrumental part in helping us to stay in the Premier League and I know he's looking forward to the challenge. He's been my number one target since the end of last season."

Cardiff are expected to be busy this summer following their promotion to the Premier League.
