Premier League title winner Shinji Okazaki has announced his retirement.

The former Leicester City striker has been playing in Belgium with VV St. Truiden.

The 37 year-old announced today: I have decided to end my career at the end of this season.

I gave everything as a footballer, but as an athlete you also have to listen to your body. Today I'm reaching my physical limits.

"In the remaining weeks I will do everything I can to get fit so that I can contribute to the team and say goodbye on the pitch."
