The 40-year-old called it a day on his playing career back in 2023 when he tore his anterior cruciate ligament while playing for Real Sociedad in his homeland of Spain.
Former Manchester City midfielder David Silva has officially come out of retirement at age 40 to sign with Hong Kong club Sha Tin. The Spanish playmaker announced the move via an Instagram video, expressing his excitement to experience Hong Kong's culture, food, and local football.

Across a glittering career, he earned 11 major trophies with Manchester City, including four Premier League titles, and won both the World Cup and European Championships with Spain.
