Former Tottenham and Aston Villa striker Darren Bent has called it quits.

The prolific centre-forward is retiring from the game at the age of 35.

Now he has called time on a playing career that spanned nearly two decades.

Bent managed 216 goals in 568 appearances in those 18 years.

He also managed four England goals in the 13 caps he earned.
