Scotland striker Kenny Miller has left Cardiff City to sign for Vancouver Whitecaps in the MLS.

The 31-year-old has joined up with his compatriot, Barry Robson, in British Columbia, after spending the last year in south Wales.

Vancouver manager Martin Rennie, also a Scotsman, was delighted to have added the 60-times-capped forward as a designated player, and believes he will be a real asset to their MLS campaign.

Rennie told the Whitecaps website: "We’re delighted to bring an experienced striker like Kenny to our club.

“He has been a proven goalscorer with big clubs in Scotland and played in the England Premier League.

"His speed, energy, and work rate will be a valuable asset to our club, as we look to have a strong second half of the season in MLS.”

Miller scored 10 goals in 43 matches for Cardiff City last season, having previously spent half a season with Besiktas in Turkey.

He is now looking forward to joining up with his new team-mates on the Canadian west-coast.

Miller said: "I’m delighted to be making this move to Major League Soccer and Vancouver Whitecaps FC.

“I have heard many great things about the club and the city of Vancouver, and have been impressed by the standard of MLS.

"To have the chance to continue my career in North America with Whitecaps FC is a fantastic opportunity for me and my family."

Kenny Miller has scored 16 goals for Scotland, the last of which was in a 2-1 victory over Cyprus in November 2011.
