Newly-promoted Birmingham have completed the signing of Cardiff defender Roger Johnson.
The 26-year-old arrives at St Andrews on a three-year deal for a fee of £5 million.
Johnson joins fellow new signings Joe Hart, Giovanny Espinoza - who both put pen to paper earlier in the week - Christian Benitez and Scott Dann.
Cardiff have been resigned to losing Johnson this summer after he expressed a desire to join a Premier League club.
Johnson, 26, has made 129 appearances and scored 14 goals for Birmingham since signing from Wycombe for £275,000 three seasons ago.
The 6ft 3in Johnson is likely to partner 22-year-old Dann, who has joined Birmingham from Coventry.

limo 1 wales , the simple fact is we have made the premier , something you'll never manage !! say no more , we have the ambition to at least try to stop up , and with our board and staff we have more than enough , we aren't like cardiff we dont sell our best players , ooghhhhhh did i hit a nerve ?? sorry , up the blues
Well done Roger you made it to a BIG club at last bet your glad to be out of Wales!!
limo1wales.....See us again next season...how's that? , you will be relegated to league 1!
crash_software see next season when you get relegated as usual
Hey die ronoldo post one. How in heavens name can you field so many white players in Birmingham - they would look out of place and feel like they just landed from mars
Its funny but so nice to read numbers like 5 mill which is serious and not crazy zillions. I firmly believe that the aim of Rael Madrid is to buy all the stars in the world and rotate them like Benny of Liverpool, sitting many on the bench - reason - so no other club can have them, and in so doing walk away with all the silverware. But I dont think it will pan out that way.
article 12 , ryan , how are you better than us ??? we are in the premiership , and you are in the championship , you silly dreamer , the simple fact is the guy don't wanna stop in the championship , because you aint never gonna come up , so deal with it
bad move johnson we are better than that load of @#$% i hope youll come back soon
I discorvered a hot place-
"""""""Tallme et C om""""""" where many- sexy singles- who like dating and-- chatting there.- I'm an open- minded girl with strong s---exual- a--ttraction I-- am Waiting 4 u
complete silly person
but good fun
xx
rubbish player from fatty land
Shows Cardiff have no real ambition :(
Is Johnson a good lad ? I don't know much about him, but £5 million he must be half decent.
Roger is going to be a big loss, with Pursey gone too !. I would of rather seen Ledley go !!.
Roger would have been the one to keep, letting him go to a yo yo team won't help him, plus how much will Wycombe get out of that deal? watching you Risdale!
Great news !! This means Wycombe who transferred Roger to Cardiff can expect a decent payout from Cardiff.
great moves by Birmingham
building a great taem with Hart and Johnson and mainly British
i would like to Owen with them too :D
