On the eve of my 37th birthday, it's time to announce my retirement from football at the end of the season!
I want to thank my family, team-mates, managers, fans & all the clubs I have played for.
To say it's been a privilege is an understatement. It's been a dream❤️

💭 My thoughts on ACL injuries having done two myself. If rehab drives attention to building up quad & hamstring strength surely this must be applied in pre activation, gym and/or post training sessions. Recovery is key as well but clubs generally don’t have enough resources.
