Ex Cardiff City player retires from being player / manager

EX CARDIFF CITY PLAYER McANUFF ANNOUNCES RETIREMENT



Jobi McAnuff has retired from professional football after leaving his role as Leyton Orient player-manager.

The former Jamaica international announced his decision following the O’s 3-0 loss at Salford on Saturday, which saw them finish the season in 11th place.

McAnuff had taken charge of Orient’s final 16 fixtures while also playing in midfield and now brings an end to a professional career which started at Wimbledon in 2000.

The 39-year-old, who captained Reading to promotion to the Premier League nine years ago, featured in the top five divisions of English football and played for West Ham, Cardiff, Crystal Palace, Watford, Stevenage and Orient in two separate spells.

Wow. Still playing at 39.

Wonderful Player, Jobi. Loved it here and was sad it was too short.

He’s a very good football pundit, maybe a reason why he’s finally hanging up his boots.

Lost last 4 games in a row .

One of the best EFL pundits on Sky.
