Following his time at Elland Road, he moved to Coventry City before spells with Tottenham Hotspur and the Vancouver Whitecaps in North America.
His career then took him to Bradford City, where he combined playing duties with coaching responsibilities.
The midfielder concluded his playing days with a single appearance for Swansea City.
On the international stage, Yorath represented Wales on 59 occasions, establishing himself as a key figure for his national side throughout his career.
"To most he was a revered footballing hero, but to us he was Dad; a quiet, kind and gentle man. Our hearts are broken but we take comfort knowing that he will be reunited with our brother, Daniel," his children said in a statement.
Yorath had four children: Gabby, Daniel, Louise and Jordan.

Daniel suffered from hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, a genetic heart condition that claimed his young life.
Beyond his playing career, Yorath moved into management with notable stints at Bradford, Swansea, Cardiff City and Sheffield Wednesday.
His most celebrated period as a manager came with the Welsh national team, guiding them agonisingly close to qualification for the 1994 World Cup finals, falling just one match short of reaching the tournament.
During his time at Bradford, Yorath served as assistant coach and was present at Valley Parade on the day of the devastating fire in 1985.
The tragedy claimed 56 lives and left 270 people injured, marking one of the darkest days in English football history.
