Former Arsenal midfielder Ramsey joins Mexico’s Pumas UNAM

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 brief intervention as interim manager of Cardiff before relegation of the club to League One in April.

“I am very excited, at a good point in my career to move forward. I know what the expectations are for this club and I am here to do my share and help in every way I can,” said 34-year-old Ramsey at his presentation.

“I am enthusiastic about this new challenge and surrounded by good players.”

Ramsey, who shares an agent with Pumas head coach Efrain Juarez, has made it clear that he wants to continue to compete at the highest level and looks at a leading role with Wales at the World Cup 2026.

“I have had a lot of experience in my career and that brings me clearly in 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 against 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.
