Fishlock retires after record-breaking career

Wales legend Jess Fishlock has officially retired from professional football following Seattle Reign's 1-0 defeat to Gotham FC in the NWSL play-off quarter-finals. The 39-year-old midfielder previously announced in April that this season would be her last, concluding an illustrious 14-season career with the Seattle franchise where she won three NWSL Shields.

Fishlock's career included playing in eight different countries, winning Champions League titles with FFC Frankfurt and Lyon, and scoring 48 goals in 166 appearances for Wales. She will now transition into coaching by joining Rhian Wilkinson's Wales backroom staff for the upcoming World Cup play-off against Norway.
