Mathew Ryan "very happy" with Valencia move

New Valencia goalkeeper Mathew Ryan says that he is "very happy and excited" to have joined the Spanish club on a six-year deal.

Australian goalkeeper Mathew Ryan has revealed his delight after signing a six-year deal at Valencia.

The 23-year-old's move to the Mestalla was confirmed on Tuesday, with Los Che believed to have paid Club Brugge £5m for his services.

"I'm very happy and excited to be joining as big a club as Valencia CF. I know that the club is a very important institution in the world of football and that this move is a big step in my professional career," Ryan told the club's official website.

"Of course, I was following Valencia CF in La Liga last season. They are a side with fantastic players, who had a great campaign and took fourth place in the league. Our main objective now is to qualify for the Champions League."

Ryan, who moved to Brugge from Central Coast Mariners in 2013, represented Australia at the 2014 World Cup.
