French soccer star Thierry Henry has announced
his retirement from professional football after 20
years of playing for top clubs like Barcelona,
Arsenal & France. He announced this on his
Facebook page and said he will be returning to
London to join Sky Sports as a football expert and
ambassador.
“After 20 years in the game I have decided
to retire from professional football.
It has
been an incredible journey and I would like to
thank all the fans, team mates and
individuals involved with AS Monaco,
Juventus, Arsenal FC, FC Barcelona, the New
York Red Bulls and of course the French
national team that have made my time in
the game so special. It is now time for a
different career path and I am pleased to
say that I will be returning to London and
joining Sky Sports. I will hopefully share
some of the insights, observations and
experiences I have learnt over the years with
you guys. I have had some amazing memories
(mostly good!) and a wonderful experience. I
hope you have enjoyed watching as much as I
have enjoyed taking part.”
Henry remains France’s all-time top scorer with
51 goals from 123 appearances.
During his time at
Arsenal, he became one of the most feared
strikers in the world, leading the team to two
Premier League titles and three FA Cups. The
multi-award winning Henry joined Barcelona and
over four seasons there, he won two La Liga
titles, a Copa Del Rey, the UEFA Champions
League, UEFA Super Cup and FIFA World Club
Cup.
