Former Chelsea goalkeeper Nicolas Tie has retired at the age of 24 to join the French army.
Tie represented a number of the Blues' academy teams for three years having joined the club in 2017, and featured in Premier League 2, UEFA Youth League and Under-18 Premier League fixtures.
However, he was unable to make his breakthrough into the first team, with the likes of Kepa Arrizabalaga and Willy Caballero ahead of him in the packing order at the time.
Born in France, Tie was called up to the Ivory Coast squad in 2018 but was forced to withdraw due to injury.
