Despite having a year remaining on his contract, the 30-year-old ends four seasons with the Wanderers by signing a lucrative deal with Thai club Changrai United.
One of the few foundation players remaining with the club, Bridge helped Western Sydney reach three A-League grand finals and an Asian Champions League title in 2014.
"Mark leaves us as an AFC Champions League winner, as our highest ever goalscorer and as a club legend. But more than that, he has helped shape the foundations and the history of the Wanderers and for that he will never be forgotten," Wanderers chief executive John Tsatsimas said.
"Mark has been with this club from the very start and has played a huge part in on our on-field success and a huge part in our culture off the field. He will always be a member of the Wanderers family."
Reports from Thailand suggest Bridge will undergo a medical examination on June 13 with Changrai before joining the squad for the second half of the Thai Premier League season.
The forward scored 32 goals in 112 appearances in all competitions for the Wanderers.
"As one of our greatest players Mark will be missed at Wanderland and we wish him and his family every success in his future journey, both in football and in life," Tsatsimas said.
