"Regrettably tomorrow's training session with Cardiff City will be my last one," Halford said in a statement on his official Twitter account.

"I've had the most amazing time with everyone associated with the club, but everything comes to an end eventually."

Halford has played for 12 different clubs in his career, including Sunderland, Nottingham Forest, Portsmouth and Brighton and Hove Albion.
