Ex-Scotland And West Ham Winger Snodgrass Retires From Football At 36
Former Scotland, Hull City and West Ham United winger Robert Snodgrass has announced his retirement from football at the age of 36.
Snodgrass last played for Hearts in the 2022/2023 season but has been without a club since his contract expired last summer.
He won 28 caps for Scotland and scored seven goals, and also played for Livingston, Leeds United, Norwich City, Aston Villa and Luton Town.
Posting on social media, he said: “A little lad from the east end of Glasgow got to live his childhood dream for 20 years playing at 10 great clubs, meeting amazing people and building relationships with staff and people around those clubs.
“Getting to represent my country, playing over 600 games scoring over 100 goals and 100 assists is something I would have never imagined doing.
“Then getting told in 2014 I might never play football again after a (potentially) career ending knee injury to then come back and play another 250-plus games is something I am grateful for.”
"Thank you to my team mates and coaches," Snodgrass added. "Lastly, a huge thank you to the supporters who drove me forward and supported me through good and bad times.
"I will miss this beautiful game, but after the last six months it's time to give my knowledge and help to the next generation."
