After scoring a late Cardiff City winner in last night's Portuguese pre-season friendly, Slovakian international was told that his trial period was over and that he would not be offered a contract by The Bluebirds.
Klimpl, a big lump of a player, has spent his entire career as a centre half but was switched, with some success, into midfield by Motherwell last term and came to Cardiff on that basis. 45 minutes of watching him in last Friday's friendly against Chasetown confirmed to me that he was exactly as described on the label - a centre half and no midfielder.
Dave Jones wished to have another look and came to the same conclusion revealing his opinion that he unfortunately was no improvement on current personnel in those positions.
SPL side Hearts have also dropped their interest and it is believed Klimpl may now trial at Plymouth who are interested in his services and were disappointed when he opted to link with City.
