Aaron Ramsey, the captain of the Welsh national team, has made a return to his childhood club, Cardiff City, signing a two-year contract. The 32-year-old midfielder became a free agent after his contract with Nice in France expired last month.
Ramsey began his professional career with Cardiff City, where he made 22 appearances as a teenager and had a brief loan spell from Arsenal in 2011, making six additional appearances. He holds the distinction of being the youngest-ever player for the club. Ramsey went on to achieve success with Arsenal, winning the FA Cup three times and participating in Europa League finals. He also enjoyed stints with Juventus, winning the Serie A title and Coppa Italia, and Rangers, where he lifted the Scottish Cup during a loan spell.
Speaking about his return to Cardiff, Ramsey expressed his excitement and mentioned his strong connection to the club. He emphasized the joy of reuniting with his family and familiar faces, highlighting the importance of being back in a place he considers home. Ramsey also expressed his aspirations of helping his teammates and the club reach new heights and return to top-level competition. He acknowledged his debt of gratitude to Cardiff City, its fans, and everyone who supported him during his early years at the club.
In a heartwarming development, Ramsey's seven-year-old son, Sonny, has also joined Cardiff's academy and signed his own contract alongside his father, further cementing the family's ties to the club.
