Former Liverpool keeper who enjoyed special Premier League debut announces retirement

Former Liverpool goalkeeper Brad Jones has today announced his retirement from football at the age of 41.

The former Australia international made a total of 27 appearances for the Reds between joining in 2010 and departing in 2015, keeping a total of eight clean sheets.

Jones' first Premier League appearance arrived in memorable circumstances during the 2011/12 season, brought on in an away game at Blackburn Rovers when Doni was sent off after conceding a penalty. The shot-stopper pointed to the sky after saving Yakubu's spot-kick in tribute to his son Luca, who sadly lost his battle with leukaemia aged five.
