Wayne Rooney has announced he will retire from international play following the 2018 World Cup.

Rooney is England's leading goalscorer with 53 in 115 appearances.

“Realistically I know myself that Russia will be my last opportunity to do anything with England. Hopefully I can end my time with England on a high.

“I said before the Euros I enjoyed playing in this team, and that’s the case still. There were some questions about whether I should stop playing, but I am looking forward to getting back on the pitch.

“I made my mind up before the Euros, whether we did well or not, that I was going to continue. I’ve had nothing to think about since then.”

He added: “My mind is made up … Russia will be my last tournament.”
