Former Rangers winger Sheyi Ojo signs for Cardiff after eight Liverpool loan moves

Former Rangers winger Sheyi Ojo finds permanent club after eight Liverpool loan moves

EX-RANGERS attacker Sheyi Ojo has finally found a permanent home after eight loan moves in his career to date. 

The 25-year-old has joined Cardiff City for a second time after penning a two-year deal.

The winger left Liverpool after 11-years this summer when his contract expired.

Of his many loans, Ojo spent the 2019/20 season at Ibrox playing under Steven Gerrard.

Now, he's returned to Wales, where he spent the 2020/21 campaign.

During that time, the former England U21 international scored five goals and recorded seven assists in 41 City appearances.

He's signed until the summer of 2024.

Ojo said: “I really enjoyed myself last time I was here, and I’ve got some unfinished business to do. I’m really looking forward to the season, and I hope we can do some special things.

“I didn’t actually get to see the fans last time I was here, so I’m really looking forward to that. The one thing that was missing last time was the fans, so I’m excited for the first game.

“I’m excited to train with the boys, and get stuck in. I know a few of the boys already, so I’m really looking forward to it. Off the pitch, I’ve got some close friends who live here as well, and I really liked being in Cardiff last time I was here.”

Steve Morison commented: “Sheyi adds to that top end of the pitch and gives us some extra quality up there. He’s got lots of power and pace, and I’m very excited to see him in action.

“He was very good when he was here on loan, but I think there’s more to come from him. I liked him when I first saw him, and when the opportunity came up to bring him to the Club permanently, it was a no brainer.

“It’s a permanent transfer for him, and he’s at an age now where he has a real chance to bed in, be somewhere, and make it his home.”
