Former Sunderland fan favourite Seb Larsson has announced his retirement

Former Sunderland star Seb Larsson has announced he will hang up his boots next month. The Sweden international spent six years on Wearside and made more than 200 appearances, scoring 14 goals, in all competitions for the Black Cats before leaving for Hull City in 2017 and spending one season on Humberside.

The 37-year-old has spent the last four years back in his homeland with AIK, winning the Swedish Allsvenskan title in 2018, but has now confirmed that he will retire from professional football when the current season in Sweden ends in November.

"After a long process, I have now made the decision to end my active career after this season. My time at AIK has been absolutely fantastic.
