New signing Stuart O’Keefe is ready for his Bluebirds debut against Derby County and pledged to add real energy in midfield and ‘keep the ball moving’.
O’Keefe, 23, looks certain to be one of two players who will make their first Cardiff City appearances, along with Lee Peltier at right-back.
“I like to bring a bit of energy to midfield and keep the ball moving in that area,” said O’Keefe after signing a contract which runs through to 2017.
“That’s what my game is about and the Gaffer has asked me to come in and contribute to the team in that way."
“We’ve got a big game coming up against Derby and I’m ready to get going immediately.
“Hopefully I’ll be involved and I’m looking forward to getting out there in a Cardiff shirt.”
O’Keefe, who will wear squad number 22, is set to link with Peter Whittingham, Tom Adeyemi and Craig Noone in midfield with Kenwyne Jones and Alex Revell leading the attack.
“I enjoyed my four years at Palace, but Cardiff offered me a new challenge and I wanted to make the move,” he said.
“I’m 23 and felt it was the right time to take the next step in my career.”

His main challenge is going to be how he avoids a stiff neck from watching the ball flying over his head.
