After 16 years of playing for England, Manchester United defender Rio
Ferdinand, has announced his retirement from International football to
concentrate on his club career. Ferdinand started playing for England in
1997. The footballer explained why he quit England in a statement
released today:
'After a great deal of thought, I have decided the time is right for me
to retire from international football. At the age of 34, I feel it is right
for me to stand aside and let the younger players come through, which
allows me to concentrate on my club career.
'The team looks in great shape and
there is an influx of young, talented players coming through the ranks
which bodes well for the future.
