Young Manchester United goalkeeper Paul Woolston has explained why he has been forced to hang up his gloves for good.
The 23-year-old has had to call time on his short playing career due to a persistent hip injury that at one stage left him in a wheelchair after an operation. The young United shot stopper wrote about the events that led him to make the tough decision to retire, in am emotional message on United’s club website.
He said: “As a footballer you get injuries, that’s just part of the game, and as a goalkeeper I’ve always put my body on the line without a second thought. Whatever the problem was, it would settle down sooner rather than later.
