Former England defender Ashley Young to retire aged 40

Former England defender Ashley Young has announced he is retiring from playing at the age of 40.

Young started out at Watford before going on to play for Aston Villa, Manchester United, Inter Milan, Aston Villa and Everton.

He ends his career at Ipswich Town, having joined the Portman Road club on a one-year-deal in July 2025 after being released by Everton.

Young made his England debut in November 2007 and won 39 caps for the national team, scoring seven goals.

“It’s been some journey that I only dreamt of as a boy,” Young wrote on social media.

“But with this dream there has to be an ending and Saturday might be the last game of my professional career … 23 years and OUT.”

Ipswich head into their final game of the Championship season against Queens Park Rangers on Saturday in the second automatic promotion place.

They are one point above third-placed Millwall and two points better off than Middlesbrough, who are in fourth and, if they are overtaken by either of those teams, will face the play-offs.
