Former Leeds United and Everton striker Jermaine Beckford has retired.

The 35-year-old is calling time on his career due to injury.

He was at Bury last, where he only played a single game. He is most famous for his FA Cup goal against Manchester United in 2010.

That goal took his Leeds side through to the next round.

Confirming his retirement on Instagram, he wrote: "My journey as a professional footballer has unfortunately come to an end.

"The operations I've had over the last couple of years have gotten the better of me.

"Football has given me all and more than I could've ever dreamed of and for all those that I have had the privilege of meeting and sharing any and all moments with, I will be eternally grateful!"
