Former Southampton and Celtic goalkeeper Artur Boruc has announced his retirement.

He has been playing in the Polish premier division for his boyhood club Legia Warsaw since leaving England in August 2020, but has just one match left before he puts away the gloves for good.

The 42-year-old said: "I will play the last game in my career in the colours of Legia against Celtic, whom I also support and are a club very close to me, where I spent great years.

"The match is a very nice initiative on the part of Legia, a really good ending to my adventure. I am very happy with this match.

"Unfortunately, my advancing years and health doesn't allow me to represent the colours of Legia Warsaw at an appropriate level. So I decided to stop. My health will not allow me to continue.

"I feel more and more ailments and it this season was probably one of the first moments when I got scared of what might happen in my life in the future. I started to pay a little less attention to football and a little more to health."

He continued: "Ultimately, I think that I will not live in Poland, my wife and I think about the United States - perhaps sunny California, to have warm and beautiful weather for 300 days a year.

"I have no idea what I will do in the future. Football has been my life. I have never really thought about it. I read a story in Poland that said I was going to go into scouting when I retire.

"Where could I be a scout? Maybe in the bars of Warsaw to scout for the best beer! No, I don't want to stay in football."
