Former Real Madrid and Barcelona striker Ronaldo has declared he's hanging up the boots.

Ronaldo, currently tied to Corinthians, has announced his retirement.

During his career he scored over 350 club goals and he won 97 caps for Brazil.

He also helped his country to two World Cup wins and was named World Player of the Year three times.

"I can't take any more," he told Estado de Sao Paulo. "I wanted to continue, but I can't do it any more. I think of an action, but I can't do it the way I want to. It's time.

"It's the body that's hurting me. The head wants to go on, but the body can't take any more."
