BECKHAM ANNOUNCES RETIREMENT

Former Real Madrid, Manchester United and England midfielder David Beckham has announced he will retire from professional football at the end of the season.

Beckham, 38, most recently enjoyed a six-month stint at French side Paris Saint-Germain, helping the club win the Ligue 1 title before deciding to step away from the game at the end of the current campaign.

The right-sided midfielder earned 115 caps for England during his career - a record for an outfield player - while he also represented AC Milan and the Los Angeles Galaxy at club level. In total he won 10 domestic titles in four different countries, also claiming the Champions League in 1999 before captaining his country at two World Cups and a European Championships.
