Player calls it a day on career
Norwich striker Dion Dublin has confirmed he will retire at the end of this season.
The 38-year-old has made 725 appearances and scored 231 goals in his career that spans two decades.
Dublin, who decided to stay on in the game for another year last summer, has been capped four times for England and his former clubs include Manchester United, Aston Villa and Celtic.
Rest
"My body needs a rest. It has been a long time. What people don't realise is it takes me 40, 45 minutes to get myself ready for training and then start the warm-ups," he told the
Eastern Daily Press.
"Even on match days it is the same thing. The physios are doing their best to get me going, they are giving me all the things I need to wear and to use and it is just physically hard to do it.
"Mentally I am fine, physically it takes longer. It is important to go out fit and healthy - I don't want the game to retire me. I want to retire when I am ready to retire."
