 Weston made just one appearance for Cardiff this season |
Wales international Rhys Weston has had his contract terminated at Cardiff City by mutual consent. Weston is now set to join Norwegian side Viking Stavanger with a view to earning a long-term contract.
Viking, who are joint-bottom of the Norway's top division, have eight games left to play this season.
Former Arsenal trainee Weston made 214 appearances in just under six years at Cardiff, but fell out of favour with manager Dave Jones this season.
'It's been very unsettling knowing that you don't figure in the manager's plans and there is no point hanging around the place if you don't," said right-back Weston, who won two promotions with Cardiff.
He added: "Having watched Viking last weekend I'm looking forward to the challenge and the travelling is not that bad, it only takes five hours from here (Cardiff) to Norway.
"It's one flight from London, and two from Cardiff so it's not difficult to travel. But now a decision has been made I'm looking forward to a fresh challenge."
A statement on Cardiff City's website said: "We would like to thank Rhys for his services as he was instrumental in the Bluebirds gaining two promotions."
