Wales captain Aaron Ramsey joined the Mexican side Pumas Unam as a free agent, after a two-year-old Stint in his boy's club Cardiff City, the League MX team announced on Thursday.
The former Arsenal and Juventus midfielder signed a one-year contract with Pumas after they briefly entered as Cardiff-Interim manager as a Cardiff-Interim manager in April.

The 34-year-old is best known for his 12-year-old spell with Arsenal, during which time he played 369 games for the North London club. He won three FA Cups with the Gunners and was named their player of the season twice before he left to go to the Italian Giants Juventus in 2019.

“I have had a lot of experience in my career and that clearly brings me to a good position,” Ramsey added. “I want to contribute to my role and achieve the objectives we have set this season. There are things to be enthusiastic about and I am looking forward to this challenge.”
Pumas will play a friendly match on the Spanish side Leganes on Sunday before they start their Apertura campaign on July 12 when they visit Santos Laguna. Ramsey is also expected to perform in the upcoming Concacaf Champions Cup campaign of the team.
