Cardiff City have completed the signing of Rickie Lambert from West Bromwich Albion for an undisclosed fee.

The 34-year-old joined the Baggies from Liverpool last summer, but was forced to settle for a bit-part role at The Hawthorns.

The striker made just five Premier League starts for the club last season and made just one substitute appearance during the opening stages of the current campaign.

Lambert has signed a two-year deal in South Wales, keeping him at the Cardiff City Stadium until 2018.

"I am very excited to be here at Cardiff City. The sooner I can get on the scoresheet and start helping my new club, the better. I'm used to being relied on to score goals," he told the club's official website.

Lambert will wear the number 19 shirt for the Bluebirds.
