Cardiff City Football Club are delighted to announce the signing of Jesper Daland.
The central defender joins from Cercle Brugge K.S.V. for an undisclosed fee, subject to international clearance.
24-year-old Daland has penned an initial four-year contract with the Bluebirds, until the summer of 2028.
Jesper began his career with IK Start in his home country of Norway, before moving to Cercle Brugge in 2021. He made over 90 appearances in the Belgian top-flight, including six in the current campaign.
Speaking at the Vale Resort, Jesper said: “I'm ready to go. I've played a few games already this season. I'm very excited and looking forward to the journey ahead.
“I've heard a lot about what will hopefully be my first game. It's a real derby. I can't ask for a better game to start. I'm looking forward to the atmosphere. Obviously, the game is special for the fans and for everyone here.
“I'll do everything I can for this Club.”
City boss Erol Bulut added: “We are delighted with Jesper’s arrival. We tried to get him in January, but it was not possible, as his then club would not let him go. He is a great defender, but also good with the ball in the build-up. He will help us a lot.
“He can play from the left side and use both feet, which is very important for us. The fans will enjoy him.
“He is fit and ready!"
Velkommen, Jesper!
