Former England international Ashley Young has officially confirmed his departure from professional football, bringing down the curtain on a magnificent career that spanned over two decades at the highest level. The 40-year-old veteran full-back, who joined Ipswich Town on a one-year deal last summer, made the emotional announcement ahead of the season’s final fixtures, stating that the time had come to hang up his boots after an incredible 23-year odyssey in the game.

Tributes have poured in from across the footballing world to celebrate a stellar career, while the veteran shifts his focus to new horizons, including his ongoing media work as a guest pundit.
