Cardiff City striker Kenny Miller could be on his way to Canada.

Vancouver Whitecaps are keen to sign Scotland international Miller and Cardiff City will listen to their offer having brought in Slovenian forward Etien Velikonja.

There would certainly be a big Scottish welcome for Miller if he does move to Vancouver. Head coach Martin Rennie is from Thurso, while assistant Paul Ritchie is a former Scotland international from Kirkcaldy.

Rennie has also signed Miller’s former Scotland team-mate Barry Robson, who is the Caps’ captain.

Ex-Middlesbrough midfield player Robson, 33, is loving life in Vancouver and believes playing Major League soccer in North America will boost his chances of being selected in Craig Levein’s squad for the 2014 World Cup qualifying bid.

“I could have stayed at Middlesbrough, but playing for Vancouver is a big thing and can only help my chances of playing for Scotland,” says Robson.

Miller, 32, joined the Bluebirds in a £900,000 transfer from Turkish club Bursaspor last summer, making a sensational start when he fired the only goal against West Ham United away in City’s first Championship match of the season.

He scored 10 goals in 41 League starts and his off-the-ball running and awareness was a major factor, but Miller failed to hit the scoring form he would have wanted.

The former Wolves, Rangers and Celtic forward has made more than 550 first team appearances during his career and may now look to extend it in MLS football.

Cardiff manager Malky Mackay is working to strengthen his Bluebirds squad and has signed goalkeeper Joe Lewis from Peterborough United, Jordon Mutch from Birmingham City and Velikonja from Slovenian club NK Maribor.

The addition of goalscorer Velikonja, a strong, left-footed striker who plays off the shoulder of defenders, plus strong interest in Liverpool’s Welsh international striker Craig Bellamy, who has always said he wants to play for Cardiff again, means Mackay may consider a Vancouver bid.

Mackay and his Cardiff players are due to fly out today for their week-long pre-season training camp in Nyon, Switzerland.
