Wayne Rooney announces his retirement from international football

Wayne Rooney has called time on his England career after a glittering 14-year spell with the national team which saw him become their all-time record goalscorer.

In a statement released by the Everton striker on Wednesday, the former Manchester United star confirmed he no longer wants to be considered for international duty.

No outfield player has won more Three Lions caps than the 31-year-old, who netted a record 53 goals across 119 appearances for his country.
