Cardiff City complete signing of Reading striker Adam Le Fondre

Cardiff City have completed the signing of Reading frontman Adam Le Fondre for an undisclosed fee.

The 27-year-old has signed a three-year deal with Cardiff, who will be in the Championship alongside Reading next season after relegation from the Premier League.

"It's such a great opportunity for me to come here to Cardiff City and play for a boyhood hero of mine in Ole Gunnar Solskjaer," Le Fondre told Cardiff's website.

"It was a move I just couldn't say no to. I'm delighted to be working with Ole and I can't wait to get started."

Le Fondre joined Reading in 2011 after a productive two seasons with Rotherham United, going on to score 41 goals in 110 appearances for the Royals.

He becomes the second striker to sign for Cardiff in the past 24 hours after last night's acquisition of Federico Macheda.
