Speaking to Cardiff City TV after completing his move to South Wales, Dimitri said: "I’m very excited to be here. From the first day I came here, I’ve felt warmth from everybody. I’m happy to join the team, and I will give my best to achieve our goals.
“I can’t wait to train with the team and help with my experience. I will always give 100% and try to help the young players – that’s why I’m here.
“I can’t wait to learn to more about the Championship. I’m looking forward to meeting the squad, working with them and getting better day by day.”
Erol Bulut added: “Dimitri has a lot of experience. He has played for Olympiacos and the Greek national team, and he had two good seasons in Turkey with Sivasspor.
“He can organise from the back and he is a good size for the Championship. He also has good speed, so I think he will be a very useful player for our style.
“He is one of those people who is really dangerous in the air and can score goals from set pieces, which will be very good for us.”
Welcome to Cardiff City, Dimitri!
