Aaron Ramsey: Riches of Saudi league no contest for ‘priceless’ Cardiff return

Ramsey put family first and returned to hometown club Cardiff, where he made his senior debut as a 16-year-old in April 2007 to break John Toshack’s record as the Bluebirds’ youngest-ever player.

Aaron Ramsey says the riches of the Saudi Pro League could not compete with his “priceless” return to Cardiff.

The Wales captain had the opportunity this summer to become the first British player to join Saudi Arabia’s lucrative league, ahead of Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson moving there last month.
