“I feel very happy right now. I have been through quite a lot this year and so far my time at Cardiff has felt like a new start,” said Odemwingie who has played in Nigeria, Belgium, France and Russia.

“It has been great here. I scored my first goal against Newcastle a few weeks ago and it felt really good to hear the crowd calling my name again.

“I love challenges. I always have. Maybe that is why I have played in so many countries. Coming to Cardiff was a challenge”.

“After what happened at West Brom I want to remind people that I am a football player.

“This is probably the happiest I have been as a person. Coming to Cardiff has given me football again. It is going well and I hope it stays that way.”
