Cardiff have terminated the contract of Nathaniel Mendez-Laing with immediate effect.

The PA news agency understands a breach of contract is the reason behind Mendez-Laing’s abrupt exit, which comes just three days before the start of the Bluebirds’ Sky Bet Championship campaign.

Cardiff signed Mendez-Laing from Rochdale in 2017 and the winger has gone on to make 92 appearances in all competitions, scoring 14 goals.

“Cardiff City Football Club has, with immediate effect, terminated the contract of Nathaniel Mendez-Laing,” read a club statement.

“The club will not be making any further comment on the matter.”
