Former Manchester City full-back Pablo Zabaleta has retired from football.
The 35-year-old has been without a club since being released by West Ham at the end of June and has decided to call time on a career that began in the 2002-03 season with San Lorenzo.
"After 18 years as a professional footballer I took the decision to retire from playing football," Zabaleta said in a social media post.
"These have been wonderful years that gave me the opportunity to enjoy unique and unforgettable moments.
"Forever I will thank all the people that shared the journey with me; clubs, team-mates, coaches and in particular my family and all my friends.
