Wales captain Gareth Bale retires from football aged 33

The nation’s most-capped male player and record men’s goalscorer announced his decision on social media.

Bale, a five-time Champions League winner with Real Madrid, is arguably Wales’ finest ever footballer.

Cardiff-born Bale’s club career took him from Southampton to Tottenham Hotspur and a world record transfer to Spanish giants Real before his move to Major League Soccer club, Los Angeles FC in June 2022.

He was his country’s talisman as they reached the 2016 and 2020 European Championships before he led Wales at their first World Cup since 1958 at Qatar 2022, ending his international career with forty one goals in one hundred and eleven appearances.
