Walsall and Trinidad & Tobago goalkeeper Clayton Ince has announced that he will retire from professional football at the end of the season.
Ince, 37, made over 300 appearances in English football for Crewe Alexandra, Coventry City and the Saddlers.
He told BBC WM: "It was a big decision because I love playing football.
"I spoke to my family and my close friends about it, and it was time that I made that decision because, at some stage, we all have to go."
Ince joined Crewe in 1999 and spent six years at the Alexandra Stadium before joining Coventry in the summer of 2005.
He remained at the Ricoh Arena for just one season, before moving to Walsall and helping the Saddlers to the League Two title in his first year at the Banks's Stadium.
Ince continued: "It's been a pleasure and I would like to thank everybody at Walsall for the welcome they gave me and their feelings towards me even though I'm going."
"My heart is still at Walsall and I'll always be looking for their results."
Ince, who won 79 caps for Trinidad & Tobago, will now return to the Caribbean to work with young footballers and pass on his experience of the English game.
"I'll be able to let them know about the trials and tribulations of being in England, being away from their family and being a true sportsman," said Ince.
