Celtic star Aaron Mooy quits football with immediate effect

Aaron Mooy has called time on his football career with immediate effect at the age of just 32.

The Celtic midfielder - who earned 57 caps for Australia - is walking away from the sport amid weeks of rumours surrounding his future. Mooy proved an inspired signing under Ange Postecoglou with his form after the World Cup was a key factor en route to a second consecutive Premiership title.

But Mooy is calling it quits after a career which included stints with St Mirren, Huddersfield and Brighton, reports The Daily Record.

Mooy spoke about his decision to walk away and appears content with his call. He said: "While it feels really sad to be leaving the game, I just feel the time is right for me. 'I have been so fortunate to enjoy such a great career across the last 15 years, creating some fantastic memories."
