Cardiff City captain Darren Purse could be heading for the exit door after being told he will not be offered a new contract at the club.
The former West Brom defender has spent a frustrating time on the sidelines after Roger Johnson formed solid partnerships with Glenn Loovens and recently Gabor Gyepes.
On his day, Purse is a strong defender with fantastic committment and leadership skills. However, Cardiff City fans have only seen glimpses of his best form over the last 3 seasons and he can be turned too easily by oppsition forwards.
Dave Jones now appears happy to allow Purse to leave Ninian Park, but as his contract expires in June – there will be no transfer fee.
Amongst the clubs thought to be interested in Purse are Leeds United, Leicester City and Charlton Athletic.
