Former Leeds and Liverpool winger Harry Kewell has announced he is to retire from professional football.
The Australian, 35, made over 250 Premier League appearances for the two English clubs between 1995 and 2008 and was a Champions League and FA Cup winner with Liverpool in 2005 and 2006.
He won 58 international caps and has been at Melbourne Heart since 2013.
His final appearance will be against the Western Sydney Wanderers in the A league on Saturday, 12 April.
But Kewell may be deprived of a swansong as he will miss the Heart’s next two matches against Brisbane Roar and Adelaide United after suffering an abdominal strain in the defeat to the Central Coast Mariners last Sunday.
