Legg leaves Cardiff

The Welsh international defender decided to end his four-year spell at Ninian Park, after The Bluebirds tabled to him a one-year deal that he deemed to be 'unacceptable'.

The 36-year-old has already been in talks with Division Two side Peterborough United and could be in line for discussions with four other clubs over a potential move, with Notts County, Huddersfield Town, Luton Town and Cheltenham Town all having shown interest in him as well.

The 16-year veteran was instrumental in taking Cardiff City into Division One for the first time in 18 years but admitted he is struggling to come to terms with having to leave the South Wales club.

"The club offered me only 30 percent of the wages I was on last season - the negotiations were miles apart," Legg admitted.

"I'm gutted and lost for words by the whole thing. This has really hurt my pride.

"I felt I deserved better treatment because I did contribute to Cardiff's promotion - I played 38 League games.

"I definitely showed my fitness and ability. Deep inside, I know I could have made a significant contribution in Division One.

"(Cardiff City manager Lennie) Lawrence did his best for me, but the club should have spoken to me weeks ago.

"It's done and dusted with City now, though - I'll move on.

"A lot of clubs were interested in me. But now my options could be significantly reduced because many players are already back in pre-season training.

"Colchester spoke with me, but now they have a left-sided player."
