Super Eagles goalkeeper, Carl Ikeme, has confirmed his retirement from football.


The 32-year-old announced the news to his Wolverhampton Wanderers teammates, before a training session at Compton on Tuesday morning.

Ikeme took the decision, after consulting with medical experts, following his 12-month battle with acute leukaemia.

Last month, Ikeme announced on Twitter, that he was in complete remission from the disease, after “a tough year and intense chemotherapy”.

The goalkeeper has 10 caps for Nigeria and made 274 career appearances in all competitions, with over 200 of them coming for Wolves.

"After advice from the doctors I have taken the decision to retire. It’s not a sad day for me but one to look back with fondness and joy for being able to live my dream . I just want to thank everyone at @wolves for there support over the years. We have rode the good and bad times together , an I’m great-full to of been apart of the clubs history. I’m looking forward to catching up with everyone again soon and being back around the club and city !! Thank You!!! �◼️❤️" he wrote on his Instagram page.

Not that it means anything to me though but Gistblog or so posted this first. Why is this on FP when she posted less than twenty minutes ago?

May God perfect your healing Carl. You are a great man, continue to triumph!!

I am really sad about this unfortunate decision but I also believe it is the best for you our own Carl.

May God keep you in his arms and favour your the next chapter of your life, may the rest of your days here on earth be full of life and happiness.

We the fans will surely miss you.

He's not dead!

God bless. Love you guy.

He remains a winner by defeating cancer. Good thing he listened to his doctors, he can always be part of football in other ways.
