Purse has been talking to Norwich and was in the crowd at one of their games last week but there's going to be no move this transfer window.
"Cardiff could not find a replacement for me in time and the move is dead in the water for the time being," said Purse.
"It has been nice to speak to Norwich and other clubs have expressed an interest as well, but now that has to be put on hold.
"My focus is to do what I can to help the club achieve its goal of promotion and help the rest of the lads on and off the field."
