Former Denmark international Thomas Gravesen has announced his retirement from football.

The 32-year-old, who has been without a club since he was released by Celtic last summer, has now opted to call time on his career.

He told Ekstra Bladet: “I have had 12 fantastic years abroad and played in four great countries.

“It has given me incredible experiences that I am grateful for. There are many people I would like to thank.

“If I could, I would do it all over again. But I am turning 33 in March, and therefore it is correct for me to finish now.”

Gravesen’s spokesman, John Sivebaek, added: “It is of cause sad when such a good player ends his career, and I would have loved to see Thomas Gravesen continue for some more years.

“But I hope that people will respect his decision.”
