Chris Gunter: Wales defender retires from international football

Wales defender Chris Gunter has retired from international football at the age of 33.

AFC Wimbledon right-back Gunter was a central figure in the Wales men's squad during the most successful spell in the nation's history.

Having become the first male Wales player to reach a century of appearances, he won 109 caps in all.

Gunter follows fellow Wales greats Gareth Bale and Joe Allen in retiring in the wake of last year's World Cup.

"I've had the privilege of representing our great country for 15 years, and it's given me some of the best times of my career and my life," Gunter said in a statement issued by the Football Association of Wales.
