The former Leicester City and Chelsea midfielder announced his retirement from football on Jake Humphrey's High Performance Podcast.

He has been"in limbo" since that much-talked-about release and, although he has received a number of offers from Championship clubs, Drinkwater has decided to call it a day."It's probably been a long time coming, especially with the last year, but I think it's time to officially announce it now.

"It's all I've known, it's been my life since I was six or seven, it was never going to be an easy thing. And instead of the banal, boring ‘drinkbeer’ replies and criticism, listen to the full emotional conversation and hear Danny Drinkwater… He said:"I do miss playing but if something wasn't to come in again this window that didn't excite me, and I decided to knock it on the head properly... what can I say?"Football has given me some absolutely great years. It's also given me some sh*** times but the good years definitely outweigh the bad.
