Jack Wilshere, a former midfielder for both England and Arsenal, has announced his retirement from professional football.
Just over a day ago, it was reported that he had quit Danish club AGF after less than five months and was “considering his next step” in his professional life.
After passing through the club’s academy, Wilshere made his league debut for the Gunners in 2008 at the age of 16 and 256 days.
The midfielder, who suffered from numerous injuries, won the FA Cup twice in back-to-back seasons with Arsenal in 2014 and 2015 before moving on to Bournemouth and then West Ham.
In January 2021, Wilshere signed a brief contract to return to the Cherries, and he also spent time at Danish Superliga club AGF.
In addition to being a member of the 2014 World Cup squad, Wilshere earned 34 caps after making his debut for England’s senior team in 2010.
