Former Wales star Aaron Ramsey retired from club football on Tuesday.
«This has not been an easy decision. After much consideration, I have decided to retire from football,» Ramsey announced on social media.
Ramsey, who made his international debut in 2008, said: «Firstly, I want to start with Wales. It has been my privilege to wear the Welsh shirt and experience so many incredible moments in it. It wouldn’t have been possible without the incredible input from all the managers I have played under and all the staff who have helped me in so many ways.»
The 35-year-old midfielder, who last played in Mexico for Pumas UNAM a year ago, also thanked all the clubs he represented. «…thank you to all the clubs I have been lucky enough to play for. Thank you to all the managers and staff who have helped me realize my dream and play at the highest level,» he said.
Remarkably, Aaron Ramsey made a crucial contribution to Arsenal during the 2013-2014 season, scoring a total of sixteen goals in the competitions. This included a decisive goal in the 2014 FA Cup Final against Hull City. In addition, he featured in the 2015 FA Cup Final, in which Arsenal were victorious, and scored a second FA Cup-winning goal in 2017.
He later joined Juventus, where he won the league title in his very first season.
