Former England defender Ashley Young has announced she is retiring from the game at the age of 40.
Young started at Watford before playing for Aston Villa, Manchester United, Inter Milan, Aston Villa and Everton.
He finished his career at Ipswich Town, joining the Portman Road club on a one-year deal in July 2025 after being released by Everton.
Young made his England debut in November 2007 and won 39 caps for the national team, scoring seven goals.
“This is the kind of journey I only dreamed of as a boy,” Young wrote on social media.
“But this dream has to come to an end and Saturday could be the last game of my professional career… 23 years and out.”
Ipswich play their final game of the Championship season against Queens Park Rangers in the second automatic promotion place on Saturday.
They are one point above third-placed Millwall and two points clear of Middlesbrough, who are fourth and will face a play-off spot if they overtake either of those teams.
