Wimbledon and former Newcastle United defender Warren Barton has decided that it is time to hang up his boots as far as his playing career is concerned, aswell as retiring from his role as chairman of the Professional Footballers Association.

BARTON RETIRES

The 35-year-old ex-England full-back returned to his old club to help out the Dons following the sale of several players by administrators.
Barton will now concentrate on coaching instead.
He said: “I have had a wonderful career, but it is time to call it a day.
“I am in the middle of taking my UEFA ’A’ coaching badge, and it is time to move on to something else.
“There are a couple of options open to me on the coaching front, but we will have to wait and see.”
