McGuinness said: “I’m very pleased. I love this club. I’ve made some good memories and I love living here as well. I’m glad that I’m going to be here for another four years.
“The club itself and the fans are phenomenal. Playing here at Cardiff City Stadium is an honour and we are hopefully heading in a positive direction, so I want to be part of that.
“I think we’ve all got to take the positives that are going on at the Club and try and get back to where we should be, whether that be this year or next year, but it’s all looking very good.”
Bulut says the defender had other offers on the table, making the new deal even sweeter.
