"Certainly I want to win trophies with AEK. I've done it in the past and want to continue," said the former Manchester City defender who has 26 England caps.
He added: "It is a great opportunity and challenge for me to be eligible to win titles. I would not be here if I thought it was a risk coming to Greece."
