Former Charlton goalkeeper Neil Etheridge has joined Cardiff.

Etheridge, 27, has starred for Walsall in League One for the past two seasons, and will now link up with the Bluebirds on July 1.

He signed for Charlton in November 2014, but was released at the end of the season after making just five appearances.

Cardiff boss Neil Warnock said: “He’s always come out on top when we’re talking about goalkeepers and we’re delighted that he’s agreed to sign.

“He’s looking forward to the challenge ahead and trying to establish himself as the number one keeper. He’s at a very good age and will be a very good addition to the squad.”
