Former West Ham and Wales midfielder Jack Collison announces retirement

Former West Ham and midfielder Jack Collison has decided to retire from football at the age of 27 due to injury.

The Wales international made 121 appearances during an injury-plagued spell with the Hammers before moving to Ipswich on a short-term deal in September 2014.

He did not play for Ipswich because of his persistent injury problems and was released after three months.



In an attempt to revive his career, Collison moved to Peterborough last summer, but he has now decided to call time on his career having made just 12 appearances for the League One side due to ongoing knee problems.

Collison, who was capped 17 times by Wales, dislocated a kneecap playing for West Ham in 2009 and will now focus on a coaching and media career.

"The nights I wake up in pain, or the mornings where I struggle to walk, will be a constant reminder I was lucky enough to play the game I love," Collison said.

"I still wake up some mornings feeling good and think 'one more try'.

"But that would be unfair on myself, my fellow pros and my family. I want to bow out with some pride intact."

【now.com體育】前韋斯咸中場哥利臣宣佈，正式結束自己的球員生涯，但他對足球的興趣依然不減，將朝教練的方向繼續在球圈發展。

哥利臣（Jack Collison）過往在韋斯咸效力過7季，曾上陣121次攻入14球，其後因膝傷而影響了發展，在輾轉效力過般尼茅夫和韋根後，他去年選擇加盟彼得堡希望重振事業，但好景不常，為該英甲球會上陣過10次後，他終因持續的膝傷問題宣佈掛靴。

年僅27歲的哥利臣說：「我出場比賽的熱情已慢慢減退，但對足球的熱情仍然燃燒得熱烈，我仍打算留在球圈發展，於其他範疇寫下我的印記。」

《法新社》指出，哥利臣往後日子將會朝著教練和傳媒的方向另謀發展。

「我有大量時間作深思熟慮，這個決定（掛靴）並非一時衝動，我必須說，彼得堡由始至終都給予我全力支持。」曾17次代表威爾斯上陣的哥利臣補充。
