Arsenal keeper Cech announces retirement

Arsenal goalkeeper Petr Cech will retire at season's end.

The 36-year-old will be out of contract in the summer, but has decided against finding another club.

He posted in a message on social media: "This is my 20th season as a professional player and it has been 20 years since I signed my first professional contract, so it feels like the right time to announce that I will retire at the end of this season.

"Having played 15 years in the Premier League, and won every single trophy possible, I feel like I have achieved everything I set out to achieve.

"I will continue to work hard at Arsenal and hopefully win one more trophy this season, then I am looking forward to seeing what life holds for me off the pitch."
