Aaron Ramsey ends his career

Wales captain and former Arsenal player Aaron Ramsey announced today that he is retiring from football, ending his 20-year career.

Ramsey thanked the fans of Wales and the clubs he played for, announcing his decision on social media.

"This has not been an easy decision. After much thought, I have decided to retire from football," Ramsey said.

"Firstly, I want to start with Wales. It has been an honour to wear the Wales shirt and experience so many incredible moments. It wouldn't have been possible without the incredible contribution of all the coaches I have played for and all the staff who have helped me in so many ways," he stated.

Ramsey then addressed the national team's fans, emphasizing that they had been there through good and bad, ups and downs, and that it was an honor for him to represent them.

"Secondly, thank you to all the clubs I have been lucky enough to play for. Thank you to all the coaches and staff who have helped me achieve my dream and play at the highest level," said Ramsey.

Ramsey has been without a club since leaving Pumas in December, and has not played for the Mexican club since September.

It is expected, as British media write, that the 35-year-old Ramsey will devote himself to a coaching career.

Ramsey played more than 250 games for Arsenal and wore the Wales national team jersey 82 times, scoring 21 goals and representing his country in three major tournaments.

He began his career at Cardiff, before moving to Arsenal in 2008, with whom he won three FA Cup trophies during his 11 years at the club.

Ramsey then played for Juventus, Nice, and again for Cardiff, where he briefly served as interim head coach at the end of last season.

He joined Pumas in the hope of maintaining his form for this year's World Cup should Wales qualify. However, after failing to find a new club, Ramsey decided to end his playing career.
