Former Liverpool defender Martin Kelly has announced his retirement from football.

Kelly, who broke through at Liverpool before going on to play more than 120 times for Crystal Palace, was signed by then Albion boss Steve Bruce as a free agent back in 2022.

He made the call to retire back in March, but only officially confirmed the decision to hang up his boots in an interview with The Athletic.

“I’ve never actually got around to writing the social media post to announce it; I’ve only told friends and family, but yeah, I’ve retired.

“It was March when I sat down with the family and told them I was thinking about it. Around the same time, I got asked to play for Liverpool in a legends game against Chelsea.

“One of the stipulations was that you had to be retired, so that just reaffirmed my decision.”
