Norway midfielder Alex Tettey has announced his retirement.

Tettey has officially called time on a 17-year professional career that saw him win two Championship titles and be part of a Wembley play-off final triumph for Norwich City.

The 35-year-old rejected the chance of another year with the Canaries after his second Championship title win in 2021 to return home to first club Rosenborg.

Tettey made it clear last month he was preparing to hang up his boots, and the former Norway international posted a message to his 35,000 followers on his instagram account on Saturday night.

The popular midfielder reflected on his boyhood journey from Ghana to the professional game and his hopes to embark on a coaching career.

Tettey made 263 senior appearances for the Canaries, after being signed from Rennes by Chris Hughton in 2012.
