Ex-Portsmouth, Sheffield United and Wolves winger has Cardiff contract terminated
Former Pompey loanee Nathaniel Mendez-Laing has had his contract terminated by Cardiff City.
In a short club statement, the Bluebirds said the winger has departed with immediate effect, but cited no reason for his dismissal.
The statement read: ‘Cardiff City Football Club has, with immediate effect, terminated the contract of Nathaniel Mendez-Laing.
‘The club will not be making any further comment on the matter.’
Mendez-Laing spent a period on loan at Fratton Park from Peterborough during the 2012-13 season, making eight appearances.
The former England youth international went on to play for Shrewsbury, Cambridge and Rochdale before earning a move to Cardiff in 2017.
He helped the south Wales side earn promotion to the Premier League during his first season at the club.
Mendez-Laing was also a key player for Neil Harris’ side last term, scoring three times in 29 games, as they suffered Championship play-off semi-final defeat to Fulham.
