Former Manchester City and Chelsea midfielder Shaun Wright-Phillips has announced his retirement.

Wright-Phillips announced his decision this morning at the age of 37.

His last club was Phoenix Rising, an Arizona-based football team who play in the second tier of the US league system.

Wright-Phillips made the announcement appearing on Sky Sports' Soccer AM this morning.

He said: "I was trying to hold on to [my career] for as long as possible.

"But over the last few weeks, I've decided it is time to be official and say: I'm officially retired.

"I was doing stuff with Manchester City and little stuff with TV - and it helped me glide out of it.

"I knew growing up it was not something that lasts forever, but after I had my last operation, it fell into place."
