Ex-Newcastle striker Shola Ameobi denies retirement

Former Newcastle United striker Shola Ameobi has declared he's not yet retired.

The 36-year-old, who is a free agent after being released by Notts County at the end of last season.

He told Sky Sports: “I'm doing bits and bobs.

“I made a decision with the family that I wanted to be closer to Newcastle, which obviously limits the clubs you can look for.

“I've kept myself fit and I haven't retired officially. It would have to be the right club. It's not something I'm actively pursuing but if something came up I'd definitely be ready."
