Former Liverpool and France striker Djibril Cisse has retired from football at the age of 35.

He trained with his first club Auxerre in a bid to get fit but, after failing to earn a contract, decided to bring an end to his 17-year career.

Cisse now plans to focus on his career as "a DJ, producer and pundit".

"I have loved being a footballer," he said. "Up until now, the ball was my whole life.

"I would have liked to have continued my career, but I have to admit today that football is finished."
