Former Arsenal midfielder Ramsey announces retirement from football | OneFootball

Former Arsenal midfielder Aaron Ramsey has announced his retirement from football at the age of 35.

The Welshman also had spells at Cardiff City, Juventus and Nice, and made 86 appearance for the Wales national team, playing a key role in his national team’s run to the semi-finals at Euro 2016.

He won three FA Cup titles at Arsenal, playing 369 times for the club and scoring 64 goals.

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

“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.
