Welsh midfielder Joe Allen, once a rising star under Brendan Rodgers at Liverpool, has announced his retirement from professional football. Rodgers made Allen one of his first signings at Anfield, bringing the then 22-year-old along from Swansea City.
Now 35, Allen has decided to hang up his boots, bringing a long and respected career full circle.
Details: The announcement was made through Swansea City’s press office—the club where Allen began his professional journey and where he now plays. His final appearance will come in the Championship clash against Oxford United.
