Cardiff City have made Rotherham and Wales midfielder Will Vaulks their first summer signing in a deal likely to rise to more than £3m.

The 25-year old, who spent three seasons at the New York Stadium and had just signed a one-year contract extension with Rotherham in March, has agreed a three-year deal at Cardiff.

The midfielder made 42 appearances in the Sky Bet Championship last season, scoring eight goals in a campaign that saw the Millers relegated back to League One.

Vaulks made his international debut with Wales earlier this year and won his third cap in the recent 2-1 Euro 2020 qualifying defeat to Croatia.

His former club Falkirk are understood to be due a sell-on from the transfer fee.

"I'm absolutely over the moon to be here and to get this over the line. It's been a brilliant year for me," Vaulks told the club's website.

"I'm really looking forward to playing regularly at Cardiff City Stadium after getting a taste of it at the Slovakia match.
