Former Wales star Aaron Ramsey on Tuesday retired from club football.

“This has not been an easy decision to make. After a lot of consideration, I have decided to retire from football,” Ramsey announced on social media.

Ramsey, who had 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 would not have been possible without the incredible input of all the managers I have played under and all the staff who have helped me in many ways.”

The 35-year-old midfielder, who last played in Mexico for Pumas UNAM a year ago, also thanked all the clubs he has represented. “… thank you to all the clubs I’ve been lucky enough to play for. Thank you to all the managers and staff that have helped me be able to live my dream and play at the highest level,” he said.

It is noteworthy that Aaron Ramsey was a pivotal contributor to Arsenal during the 2013–14 season, during which he netted a total of 16 goals across competitions. This included a decisive goal in the 2014 FA Cup final against Hull City. Furthermore, he participated in the 2015 FA Cup final, in which Arsenal emerged victorious, and he scored a second FA Cup-winning goal in 2017.

Later, he joined Juventus, where he won the league title during his very first season.
