CONFIRMED: Cardiff sign Kagisho Dikgacoi following Crystal Palace release
CARDIFF have signed Crystal Palace midfielder Kagisho Dikgacoi on a free transfer.
The 29-year-old South African international was out of contract at Selhurst Park and turned down a new contract before dropping down a division to sign for the Bluebirds on a three-year deal.
The former Fulham man, whose first Palace goal came against Cardiff, made 29 appearances last season as the Eagles managed to stay in the Premier League.
Speaking following his move to the Welsh capital, Kagisho said: “I’m delighted to join Cardiff City. The manager was persistent in wanting to bring me here, which always means a lot to a player.
