Cardiff pair Kieran Richardson and Marouane Chamakh have left the Sky Bet Championship club.

The pair were signed as free agents in the week Neil Warnock arrived as Cardiff manager at the start of October.

"They have left this week," Warnock said ahead of his side's trip to Championship leaders Brighton on Friday.

"They have been good professionals, but we need to manipulate this squad and those two are easy as their contracts are up.

"They will both find clubs."
