"As soon as a Club like Cardiff City were interested I was excited and I couldn’t miss this opportunity," he told the Welsh club’s official website.
"My job is to stop the ball going into the back of the net. I love heading and I love defending. It’s a great opportunity for me to learn and improve in the next few years at the Club," he added.
On his part, Medley is said to have sealed a move to Belgian side KV Oostende on a permanent deal.
Also a centre-back, Medley had captained Arsenal's Under-18 side and made senior appearances in the FA Cup and Europa League.
