Ben Foster bears 'no hard feelings' after turning down Newcastle United

Former Manchester United and Watford goalkeeper Ben Foster insists there's no hard feelings towards Newcastle United despite turning down a move to the club last week. The Magpies were in the market for a back-up keeper after Karl Darlow was injured in training, with Foster on their list of potential replacements.

Foster revealed he would find it tough to move away from his family at 39-years-old with his children in school in the Midlands. The goalkeeper admits that there was a good deal on the table from the Magpies but he's instead chosen to hang up his gloves after trusting his gut feeling.

Speaking to the Fozcast, Foster said: "The time has finally come to announce my retirement. I have however got a belting story for you and it will explain the reasons for why I know it's time to hang the gloves up and enter into retirement.
