The 23-year-old was present at Saturday's 0-0 draw with Everton, as he signed a four year deal with the Bluebirds.<br />

Malky Mackay told reporters: "We have signed Kevin Theophile-Catherine from Rennes today.



"He is a good defender, he is someone we have tracked over the last year in France. <br />

“He is someone who has pace, is aggressive and has good experience in the French top division, so he is someone we feel will be a good addition to our squad.<br />

The signing of the talented defender took the Welsh club's summer spending spree past  £30m having already signed the likes of Gary Medel, Steven Caulker, Andreas Cornelius, John Brayford, Simon Moore and Maximiliano Amondarain.<br />

The Bluebirds manager had also admitted of his willingness to bring few more players to Cardiff before the conclusion of the transfer window on the 2nd of September. <br />

Mackay added saying: "We're still trying. If there's something else that comes up over the next couple of days we'll work hard to try and do something. <br />

 "But like anything there's competition and the people we bring in have got to add [quality] to the squad."
