Former Chelsea midfielder Marko Marin announces retirement

Former Chelsea midfielder Marko Marin has announced his retirement.

Marin, 33, played for 12 clubs during his time as a professional footballer, including Werder Bremen, Chelsea and Sevilla.

Marin rarely had a spot in the starting line-up whilst at Chelsea, so the club decided to loan him out for four consecutive seasons before selling him to Olympiacos in 2016.

The midfielder has most recently been playing for Ferencvaros - a club that competes in the top flight of Hungarian football.

He's scored one goal in 13 appearances so far this season.

Marin has made it clear that he has no intention to continue playing once the season is over.
