CARDIFF -- Newly promoted Cardiff has signed Chile midfielder Gary Medel from Sevilla for a club-record fee to strengthen its squad ahead of the clubs first season in the Premier League. Cardiff said Medel has signed a four-year deal, subject to a work permit, having passed a medical exam on Saturday. Cardiff manager Malky Mackay called Medel "a tenacious and intelligent international midfielder," adding that "his experience will be an invaluable asset to our squad." Medel has played more than 50 times for Chile, including at the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, and spent two seasons with Sevilla in the Spanish league. Cardiff did not disclose the transfer fee, but said it was a record for the club. Medel will link up with his new team after international duty with Chile, which plays Denmark in a friendly on Wednesday. Ronald Darby Jersey .

The 38-year-old right-hander didnt pitch after June 1 in 2012 because of a strained right shoulder. His spleen was removed in January 2013 after he was injured when he fell in the snow at his home in Vermont. Pavano had been hoping to return to the major leagues this year. "Despite my strong desire to compete and hard work in preparing for the upcoming season, I feel that the amount of time lost from my spleen injury, coupled with the recovery from my complications from that injury, preclude me from continuing to compete at my highest level, which is necessary to perform in the major leagues," Pavano said in a statement released Wednesday by his agent, David Pepe. "I have achieved many things as a major league pitcher of which I am very proud. However, I feel at this time, I am simply not able to continue to pitch at the major leaggue level, and these last three months of rigorous training have failed to produce the results that I was looking for to allow me to continue my major league career.ddddddddddddquot; Pavano, an All-Star in 2004, was 108-107 with a 4.39 ERA for Montreal (1998-02), Florida 2002-04), the New York Yankees (2005, 2007-08), Cleveland (2009) and Minnesota (2009-12).
