Cardiff City transfer news: Striker Callum Robinson signs from West Bromwich Albion
- Published
Callum Robinson has 29 Republic of Ireland caps and has scored seven goals in international football
Cardiff City have signed Callum Robinson from West Bromwich Albion on a three-year deal for a fee believed to be in the region of £1.5m.
The Republic of Ireland forward, 27, travelled to the Welsh capital on Thursday for a medical to complete the deal.
"I'm buzzing. It's another adventure for me and a challenge I'm looking forward to," said Robinson.
"I can't wait to meet the boys and the staff."
Cardiff manager Steve Morison had been in the market for a striker and Robinson is relishing the prospect of playing for him.
"I spoke with the gaffer and I saw the match against West Brom, and City love playing football," added Robinson.
"I love scoring goals and assisting. It's what I've done most of my career. I'm hoping I can do plenty more of that here and to help this team."
A number of other Championship clubs had also reportedly been trailing the 27-year-old.
Morison said: "I'm delighted to have Callum on board. He's a very talented player, and he can play anywhere across the forward line.
"He's coming in to help the squad, and I'm really looking forward to working with him.
"I'd like to thank Tan Sri Vincent Tan and Ken Choo for their support in bringing Callum to the club."
Former Aston Villa trainee Robinson has made six league and cup appearances for West Brom this season without scoring.
Last season, however, he was on target 14 times for club and country, including scoring against Cardiff City.
Robinson has plenty of Championship experience with spells at Preston North End and Bristol City, and scored Premier League goals for Sheffield United.
Cardiff are currently 17th in the Championship with eight points from their seven games so far, but they are the second lowest scorers in the division with four goals.
Only unbeaten Preston have scored less, with a tally of two.
Cardiff were beaten 2-1 at home by Luton Town on Tuesday night and hope to have Robinson registered and available in time for Saturday's trip to Millwall.
