Zimbabwe midfielder Andy Rinomhota has left Cardiff City after three seasons with the Welsh football club. The 27-year-old player rejected a new contract offer despite having another year remaining on his current agreement. Cardiff City announced his departure over the weekend following Rinomhota's decision to move on from the team. His original contract was scheduled to expire at the end of June 2025. The midfielder chose to leave rather than extend his stay with the Championship club.
Rinomhota posted a farewell message on Instagram to thank Cardiff supporters for their backing during his time there. He acknowledged facing difficult moments but expressed gratitude for the experiences that helped him develop as both a player and person. The midfielder wrote about learning valuable lessons during his three-year journey with the club. He wished Cardiff City success for the future and hoped they would return to higher levels of competition. Rinomhota thanked fans and the organization for their support throughout his tenure.
The Zimbabwe international appeared in 84 matches for Cardiff City since joining the club during 2022. He featured in 36 games during the most recent season that ended with the team facing relegation from their division. Rinomhota remained a regular starter despite the club's struggles on the field throughout the campaign. His consistent performances and versatility in midfield positions earned praise from coaches and supporters. The player maintained his place in the starting lineup even during challenging periods for the team.
Rinomhota becomes a free agent and can sign with any club without Cardiff City receiving a transfer fee. Several teams are expected to pursue the experienced midfielder given his Championship background and international experience with Zimbabwe.
