Rob Green has called time on his career
Green started his career at Norwich and made 12 appearances for England.
He said in a statement: “Following an incredible evening in Baku on Wednesday and after a 23 year career spanning three decades, I’ve decided that now is the right time to announce my retirement from professional football.
“Being part of the group and celebrations with such a special squad of players after winning the Europa League seems a fitting way to end what’s been an amazing journey for me in the game.”
Green also played for West Ham, QPR and Leeds, winning promotion to the Premier League with the Hammers and Rangers.
He won the First Division title with Norwich in 2004 and started the 2010 World Cup as England’s first choice goalkeeper.
