Manchester City FC midfield player Alf Inge Håland has
announced his retirement after failing to recover from a
knee injury.

The 30-year-old told City's website: "I have had a great
career in football, something I would not change for the
world. I have had ten good years injury free and consider
myself to have been lucky to have the opportunity to play
football as a career."
