Former England midfielder Danny Drinkwater has retired from football after becoming frustrated "in limbo".
Drinkwater, now 33, helped Leicester City win the Premier League in 2016 and joined Chelsea a year later.
He left Stamford Bridge when his contract expired in June 2022, having made little impact, and has not played since.
"I think I've been in limbo for too long," said Drinkwater, who started his career at Manchester United.
He told the High Performance podcast there had been no opportunities at a level that might tempt him back into action.
"I've been wanting to play but not getting the opportunity to play at a standard or a level where I felt valued," Drinkwater said.
