Former England midfielder James Milner has announced his retirement from football at the age of 40 after a 24-year Premier League career.
Milner announced this in a statement shared on Instagram on Monday.
He stated: “After 24 seasons in the Premier League, it feels like the right time to bring an end to my playing career.
“From making my debut for Leeds, who I supported growing up, at the age of 16 and becoming the Premier League’s youngest scorer, I could never have dreamed of the journey I’ve been on.”
