Jack Wilshere: Former Arsenal and England midfielder announces his retirement from professional football | Football News

Former Arsenal and England midfielder Jack Wilshere has announced his retirement from professional football.

Earlier in July, Wilshere left Danish club AGF after less than five months, stating that he is now “considering his next step” in his career.

The 30-year-old former England international, whose career has been dogged by injury problems, joined the Danish Superliga club in February and played 14 league games for the club.

The former Arsenal and West Ham midfielder had been without a club since he was released by Bournemouth last summer and had been training with Arsenal and Italian side Como to maintain his fitness as he looked for a new club.

Wilshere has released a lengthy post on social media with the caption: “I’ve lived my dream. Thank you all.”
