Jack Wilshere retires from football aged 30


"It has been an unbelievable journey filled with so many incredible moments," said Jack Wilshere

Jack Wilshere, a former midfielder for England, West Ham, and Arsenal, has declared his retirement from the game at the age of 30.

After making his debut at the age of 16, Wilshere went on to make 197 appearances for Arsenal and win two FA Cups.

Later, he spent time with AGF Aarhus of Denmark, West Ham, Bolton, and Bournemouth.

Wilshere said in a tweet that his career has been "slipping away in recent months."

"It has been an unbelievable journey filled with so many incredible moments, and I feel privileged to have experienced all that I did during my career," he said.

"From being the little boy kicking a ball around in the garden to captaining my beloved Arsenal and playing for my country at a World Cup. I have lived my dream."


 When Wilshere substituted against Blackburn Rovers in September 2008, he made Arsenal's youngest-ever league debut at the age of 16 years and 256 days.

He participated in the 2014 World Cup and the 2016 Euro with England.
