Former Real Madrid midfielder Esteban Granero has announced his retirement.

Granero hangs up the boots after a career with Real Madrid, Getafe, Queens Park Rangers, Real Sociedad, Espanyol and Marbella.

He posted to social media today: “For those who accompanied me at some point.

"To those who did me good, total thanks. But to those of you who helped me and I never found out about it, nor did I ever hear from you, eternal love.

"To those I did well once, you gave me more than I gave you.

"To those who did me wrong when I did not deserve it, I do not hold a grudge.

"To those I did wrong, it is a good day to admit that I regret it."
