Arsenal striker and England legend Jodie Taylor has announced her retirement from football.
The 37-year-old brings down the curtain on a career that has spanned over 20 years, having won the Champions League with Lyon in 2019/20 and the FA Cup with Birmingham in 2012.
But Taylor will perhaps be best remembered as a key part of the trailblazing group of England players who won bronze at the 2015 World Cup. She went on to win the Golden Boot at Euro 2017.
Taylor told Sky Sports News: "I signed for the second half of the season with Arsenal earlier this year and even before I got on the flight back to the UK, I knew I would be finishing my career with Arsenal.
"It's been brewing and I'm finally ready to officially announce that I'm stepping away from playing. It feels really weird saying it out loud. I've had a lot of discussions with friends, family and loved ones regarding it.
