Former Newcastle, Crystal Palace and Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Yohan Cabaye has announced his retirement from professional football at the age of 35.

Cabaye saw his one-year contract with Saint-Etienne expire at the end of last season and the Frenchman has decided to call it a day after 543 appearances at six different clubs.

The midfielder started his career with Lille in 2004 and helped the club win a league and Cup double in the 2010-2011 season. He also made 48 appearances for the France national team but was not part of the World Cup winning squad in 2018.
