(Reuters) - Former Australia goalkeeper Adam Federici has announced his retirement due to injury less than a month before the start of the new A-League season.

The 36-year-old had been named captain at Macarthur FC following the retirement of Mark Milligan at the end of last season, but he will now not lead the club when the league returns on Nov. 19.

"While I would've loved to lead the Bulls this season, my body is in a different position and cannot continue. Federici played 16 times for Australia and spent much of his career in England, featuring for Reading in both the Premier League and the Championship for 11 seasons before moving to Bournemouth and, in 2018, Stoke City."I am honoured to have been able to represent Australia and my time with the national team will stay fondly in my memories forever," he said.
