Cardiff City sign midfielder Manolis Siopis and keeper Alex Runarsson

Cardiff City have signed Greece international defensive midfielder Manolis Siopis on a three-year deal.

Siopis, 29, was available on a free transfer after leaving Turkish club Trabzonspor.

Cardiff have also signed Iceland goalkeeper Alex Runarsson on a season-long loan from Arsenal.

"He [Siopis] is a fighter, who will work hard for the team," said Cardiff manger Erol Bulut, who worked with Siopis at former club Alanyaspor.

"The fans will like him and in the last few years, he has increased his technical skills with the ball."

Siopis started his career with Greek giants Olympiacos and was twice named in the Greece Super League team of the year.
