Aron Gunnarsson has signed a one-year contract extension with Cardiff City, keeping him at the club during their first season back in the Premier League.

The 29-year-old's previous deal at the Cardiff City Stadium expired at the end of last month.

Following the announcement, he told cardiffcityfc.co.uk: "It's taken a little while, but it's definitely been worth the wait. I always wanted to stay and I told the gaffer that.

"Even though I didn't say much in the news, I just wanted to do my job on the pitch.

"Credit to the owner and the gaffer, we've worked hard to get the right players in and I can see there have been good signings.

"It's all coming together, with the players who have been around for a while signing new deals too.

"My little boy was born in Cardiff and I've been through a lot with this club and the fans. I just can't wait to pull on the strip again to represent the capital of Wales in the Premier League."
