I’ve had an amazing and wonderful journey but today sadly it’s time to hang up my boots…

I’m officially retiring from football. It all started when I was 9 and signed for @cardiffcityfc , since then I have never looked back. Making my debut for my home town team at the age of 17, fresh faced and full of ambition. It was a dream come true. Playing in play-off and FA cup finals at Wembley are moments I will never forget. The highest of highs to the lowest of lows with a club that is so close to my heart.
Signing for @celtic was a true highlight, an amazingly unique football club. There was no better feeling than winning trophies for arguably the most passionate fans in the world, cherished memories. Hail Hail 🍀. I achieved more than I could have ever imagined, but the time came to follow another dream and play in the Premier League, @cpfc opened the door for that. Playing against and along side some of the best players in the game. Amazing.

A massive thanks to @dcfcofficial @cafcofficial @newcastlejetsfc & @newportcountyafcofficial_ for showing faith in me ❤️

None of this would have been possible without the support of my family & friends, who have always been my biggest fans ❤️ A huge thanks to everyone behind the scenes, the life blood of all football clubs. @the_baldwinners @avid_se who has guided and helped me over the past 10 years, I am forever grateful for your patience 😂

Then there is @fawales , my beloved Wales - I can never imagine retiring from international football, so I will forever remain available! Please don’t take me home ❤️



what a career, always gave his all and its been a pleasure to watch him play for club and country
