The 27-year-old signs from Swansea City after 19 years
He has 15 caps for Wales on the international stage
The 27-year-old has put pen to paper on a three-year deal after 19 years with The Swans having come through the Welsh side’s academy and going on to make 207 appearances in all competitions, scoring 37 goals.
Speaking to LCFC.com, he said: “I’m buzzing to be here and I can’t wait to get started. When this opportunity came about and with the size of the Club and the project they’re getting started with now, I thought it was the perfect fit for me.
“The way we want to play football suits me really well. Keeping the football, playing in the opposition half, creating chances and scoring lots of goals. I’m quite versatile in terms of where the manager wants to play me, but the main thing is to score goals, help the team win games and hopefully push the Club back to where we want to be.”
Born in Pembrokeshire, Wales, Cullen joined Swansea City’s academy at the age of eight and made his debut for the Under-18s aged 13.
