Former West Ham United, Real Madrid and Liverpool full-back Alvaro Arbeloa has revealed he is retiring from football.

Arbeloa will hang up his boots after an unsuccessful spell at West Ham United, where he only played three Premier League matches before being released in May.

The 34-year-old former Spain international walks away from the game, having won the FIFA World Cup, UEFA Euro 2008 and 2012, two UEFA Champions League crowns and LaLiga.

"It's time to say goodbye," Arbeloa told Marca.

"Physically I was OK to keep playing."

Arbeloa arrived at West Ham United after spending seven years at Madrid, where he claimed LaLiga, the UEFA Champions League, Copa del Rey, the FIFA Club World Cup, UEFA Super Cup and Supercopa de Espana.

Prior to Arbeloa's time at Santiago Bernabeu, he made almost 100 appearances for Liverpool between 2006 and 2009.
