England's Walker Retires From International Football

Experienced England defender Kyle Walker has retired from international football with immediate effect.

The 35-year-old Burnley full-back has decided to call time on his career after winning 96 caps for the Three Lions and featuring at five major tournaments.

Walker, who won the last of those caps in a friendly against Senegal at the City Ground in June 2025, said it had been a "whirlwind of a journey" but the "book is now closed".

"I am sad to be making this decision, but I'm also very proud of what I've achieved with England," he said.

"Today is the time that comes to an end. It's good for me to have a little bit of closure to my career on the international stage."
