Former Liverpool and Real Madrid defender Alvaro Arbeloa has decided to retire from professional football aged 34.
The ex-Spain international won the 2010 FIFA World Cup and two European Championships in 56 appearances for his country.
He also won multiple trophies at Spanish champions Real Madrid, including one league and two Champions League titles.
Arbeloa signed a one-year contract at West Ham after being released from Madrid last August but made just four appearances for the London side.
'It's time to say goodbye,' Arbeloa told Marca.
