Last Updated: 13/02/18 11:26am



Hull midfielder Ryan Mason has been forced to retire due to a head injury suffered in January 2017.

Mason suffered a fractured skull in a collision with Chelsea's Gary Cahill during a game at Stamford Bridge last year and has not been allowed to play since.

The former England international had been working towards a comeback but will retire on the advice of medical professionals.



Mason made a total of 69 Premier League appearances after breaking into the first team at Tottenham in 2014, before signing for Hull two years later.

In a statement, the 26-year-old said: "I can confirm that following specialist medical advice I am having to retire from playing professional football.

"I have worked tirelessly in order to be able to return to the pitch. Unfortunately, having taken expert medical advice I now have no option but to retire due to the risks involved given the nature of my injury.

"I am and always will be eternally grateful for the incredible network of people around me who have helped me to recover from what was a life-threatening injury in January 2017.

"I am so proud to have come through the ranks to play for my club, the club I love. To have had the honour of captaining the team fills me with immense pride. Thank you to all of my teammates over the years, there are too many to mention, it's been a privilege to play alongside you all.

"Finally, representing my country is an honour that nobody can ever take away from me and something that I am so proud to have achieved.

"I'm retiring from the game with my head held high having done everything in my power over these past 13 months to have given myself every opportunity to return to the pitch."

A statement on the Hull's official club website read: "Ryan would like to put on record his thanks to all at the club who have aided his recovery to this point and he his is indebted to them for their support and compassion over the past 12 months."

【now.com體育】侯城於周二宣佈，26歲中場賴恩美臣因為去年的嚴重頭部受傷，決定提早高掛球靴。

「球會十分遺憾的宣佈，由於在2017年1月22日頭部受傷，賴恩美臣（Ryan Mason）決定現在退役。美臣已尋求了多位世界著名神經科及神經外科專家的意見，他們都建議美臣，不應該重返球場。」侯城於聲明中表示。

賴恩美臣同時透過這份聲明，感激侯城在過去12個月對他在康復道路上的支持。於熱刺出道的他，在去年英超為老虎鬥車路士時，被對方中堅加利卡希爾撞至頭骨爆裂，之後立即被送到醫院，而且留院8天。

在去年10月，他曾表示計劃復出：「體能上，我沒有問題，可是我的頭骨仍然需要時間去復原，希望到復原的那天，我可以有足夠的體能，立即回到球場比賽。」

侯城現時於英冠以31戰29分排尾4，護級水深火熱。

退出亦要勇氣, 考教練牌喇!
