Bellamy will join-up again with City boss Mark Hughes and his assistant Mark Bowen who he played under at both Blackburn Roves and the Wales international squad.
"I am delighted to be working with Craig once more," Hughes said.
"He is an outstanding player who provides us with qualities that we are slightly lacking.
"He has blistering pace, has bags of of enthusiasm and has a superb attitude to training.
"He will be a great addition to the squad."
Bellamy is expected to make his City debut in the home game against one of former clubs Newcastle United on 28th January.
