Former Manchester United forward Dwight Yorke has announced his retirement from football.
The 37-year-old played a total of 480 club games, scoring 147 goals, and won the UEFA Champions League with United as well as three successive Premier League titles.
During his time at Old Trafford, Yorke formed a formidable partnership with fellow striker Andy Cole and he found the back of the net 64 times in 151 appearances.
The former Trinidad and Tobago captain was released by Sunderland at the end of last season and has decided to call it a day.
"It's time to hang up my boots," he said. "While I'm still in great shape, I'm not getting any younger.
"I've had the time of my life. I hope people will say that I played the game in the right way with a smile on my face.
