The powerful forward, who turned 31 on Thursday, has decided to call time for a couple of reasons. Firstly, he now lives in Dubai and secondly, he needs further knee surgery.
He told The NLP: “I travel a lot with work and in my life, and I no longer live in the UK. I started a business four-anda-half years ago, a tech and media agency, and I’ve put blood, sweat and tears into it.
“I have an unorthodox lifestyle and travel a lot, but I’ve always tried to play 30-40 games a season.
“Anyone who has followed my journey knows I’ve had some bad injuries and I now need a knee op. My meniscus has two separate tears and there’s a cyst as well. I’m not sure that I would be able to play again.”
