Kyle Walker retires from England duty after 96 caps | OneFootball

Kyle Walker has retired from international football after 96 England caps. L'ÉEquipe reports that the Burnley defender confirmed his decision on Tuesday.

The 35-year-old said representing his country was the greatest honour of his career and a source of pride, adding that the memories would stay with him.

First called up in 2011, he made his senior debut that year at 21 against Spain, a 1-0 win, playing five minutes.

The Sheffield United academy graduate played for Tottenham and Manchester City before joining Burnley. He featured at three European Championships, in 2016, 2021 and 2024, losing two finals, and at two World Cups in 2018 and 2022.

A summer signing for Burnley, he has not been selected since a friendly against Senegal on 10 June 2025, which finished 1-3. In his message, he thanked team-mates, staff and supporters for their support.
