Sol Bamba says he has signed a one-year extension with Cardiff City, although the Championship club has not yet officially confirmed the new deal.

The 34-year-old Ivory Coast defender was in the final year of his contract.

"I signed a new contract when I got injured, it's just not been released yet because the club wanted me to wait," Bamba told BBC Radio Leeds.

He tore a cruciate ligament in March, after being a key part of Cardiff's Premier League campaign last season.

Bamba has played one game this campaign, coming off the bench in the 2 November win over Birmingham City after returning from that serious knee injury.

"The club has been good to me, to be fair, it was the plan before I got injured as the club were happy with me," Bamba added.

"When I got injured the club just wanted me to concentrate on my rehab and therefore they gave me an extra year."
