Glenn Murray: Former Brighton and Crystal Palace forward retires

Former Brighton & Hove Albion and Crystal Palace forward Glenn Murray has retired.

He scored 111 goals in 285 appearances for Brighton in two spells at the club, either side of four years at Palace and a spell at Bournemouth.

"I feel as though the time is right and I wanted to retire at a good level," Murray, 37, said.

He told Brighton's website: "I've had a lot of good years in the game, but this seems the right time to call it a day."

"I am getting off the football merry-go-round, the structure of being told what to do for 20 years.
