English full-back, Kieren Trippier has announced in an Instagram post that he will no longer play for the Englad National team as he hangs his boots from International football.
The 33-year-old was capped 54 times with his only goal coming against Croatia in the 2018 World Cup semi-final defeat in Moscow.
The Newcastle United right-back, who made his debut in 2017 under former manager Gareth Southgate, captained England three times.
In a post, the Newcastle captain wrote:
“I never thought as a young lad from Bury that I would play for my country let alone achieve 54 caps.It’s been one of the biggest honours of my life to represent my country at 4 major tournaments”
