Callum O'Dowda has left Cardiff City to join Hungarian side Ferencvaros for an undisclosed fee.

The 30-year-old Republic of Ireland international, capped 32 times by his country, joined the Bluebirds in July 2022 after leaving Bristol City.

O'Dowda, who can play in midfield or at full-back, spent six years at Ashton Gate after signing from Oxford United.

He had been linked with a return to Oxford following Cardiff's relegation from the Championship last season.

O'Dowda played 94 games for Cardiff, scoring six times, including 45 appearances in the 2024-25 under a succession of managers.

A statement on the Cardiff website said: "We'd like to thank Callum for his efforts over the past three seasons and wish him the best of luck for the future."
