Rickie Lambert: Striker leaves Cardiff City 'by mutual consent'

Rickie Lambert scored four goals in 13 league starts for Cardiff

Rickie Lambert has left Cardiff City after his contract was terminated by mutual consent.

The striker scored four goals in 13 league starts after he joined from Premier League side West Brom on transfer deadline day last summer.

The last of the 35-year-old's four Cardiff goals came in a 3-1 defeat at Aston Villa on 26 November.

Cardiff manager Neil Warnock recently said that Lambert would struggle for game time next season.

Warnock will prefer Kenneth Zohore and new signing Danny Ward up front next season.

Lambert has scored three goals for England in 11 appearances.
