Cedric Kipre: Cardiff City sign West Bromwich Albion defender on loan

Cardiff City have signed West Bromwich Albion defender Cedric Kipre on a season-long loan.

Kipre, 25, has been allowed to leave the Hawthorns having made 20 appearances since joining Albion from Wigan Athletic in September 2020.

The centre-back had been a regular for the Latics, having previously played for Motherwell and for Leicester City as a youngster.

He becomes Cardiff manager Steve Morison's 12th signing of the summer.

West Brom paid a reported £900,000 to sign Kipre on a four-year deal following their promotion to the Premier League two summers ago, but the former Ivory Coast Under-23 international has struggled for regular game-time with Albion.
