Robert Snodgrass has confirmed his retirement from football following a 20-year career on the pitch.

The former Scotland international most recently played with Hearts, but he also enjoyed spells at some top clubs including Leeds United, Norwich City, West Ham, Hull City and Luton Town. 

Snodgrass was capped 28 times for Scotland and on his retirement, he explained on social media: "After 20 years of playing professional football, I have officially retired and decided to call it a day and hang up my boots.

"A little lad from the east end of Glasgow got to live his childhood dream for 20 years playing at 10 great clubs, meeting amazing people, and building relationships with staff and people around those clubs.

"Getting to represent my country, playing over 600+ games, scoring over 100+ goals and 100+ assists is something I wouldn't have ever imagined doing, then getting told in 2014 I might never play football again after a career-ending knee injury. To then come back and play another 250+ games is something that I am grateful for.

"Big thank you to my family and friends and my agents for supporting me and being there. I wouldn't have played for so long if I didn't have the support of you all. Thank you to my teammates and coaches.

"Lastly, a huge thank you to the supporters who drove me forward and supported me through good and bad times. I have always tried to play for the badge and what that meant to the fans and the history and traditions of your football club. Also knowing the money you paid to come and watch, the least you deserved was a minimum of hard work and I hope I showed you that."
