Neil Lennon has signed former Bluebirds and Wales defender Adam Matthews for his new club in Cyprus.

Lennon, who managed the 30-year-old at Celtic, is now manager of Omonia Nicosia and has tapped into his connections with his old club to snap up Matthews, who played 48 times for the Bluebirds at the beginning of his career.

A statement on behalf of Omonia Nicosia read: "We have reached an agreement in principle for a two-year partnership with the 30-year-old Welsh international right-back, Adam Matthews, who has been playing for Charlton Athletic in recent years.

"The footballer has a long presence in Celtic FC, with which he won four championships and two cups and played in the UEFA Champions League and UEFA Europa League.

"He also played in the Sunderland AFC and Cardiff City, and played in 14 games for his national team. Adam Matthews will soon be in Cyprus to complete the agreement."
