Cardiff City have signed goalkeeper Ben Amos on a season-long loan from Bolton, subject to international clearance.
Amos, 26, came through the ranks at Manchester United, making seven first-team appearances for the Red Devils.
Former England U21 international Amos has also played for Oldham Athletic and Hull City.
Aston Villa owner Dr. Tony Xia says left-back Joe Bennett has also joined Cardiff, but it remains unclear if it is a permanent deal or a loan.
Sheffield Wednesday had previously been linked with a move for the 26-year-old former England Under-21 international defender, who joined Villa from Middlesbrough in 2012.
Bennett is the Bluebirds' seventh summer signing after Lex Immers, Kenneth Zohore, Emyr Huws, Jazz Richards and Frédéric Gounongbe moved to the Cardiff City Stadium.
Meanwhile, midfielder Kagisho Dikgacoi's contract with the club has been terminated by mutual agreement and he leaves Cardiff City with immediate effect.
The South African international, 31, made just 17 league appearances for Cardiff and had one year left on his contract.
Dikgacoi, who was part of the South Africa squad for the 2010 World Cup finals, suffered with knee injuries after joining the Bluebirds from Crystal Palace in June 2014.
