    Football: Australian ace Tim Cahill announces retirement

    Socceroos legend and Australia's leading international goal-scorer, Tim Cahill, has called time on his glittering career. The 38-year-old felt the time was right to hang up his boots after appearing in the fourth World Cup for his nation. Cahill came off the bench against Peru in Russia for a cameo, which was his final appearance in green and gold.

    Cahill took to Twitter to make this announcement

    Today’s the day that I’m officially hanging up my boots on my international career with the Socceroos.
    No words can describe what it has meant to represent my country. Massive thank you to everyone for the support throughout all my years wearing the Australian badge. pic.twitter.com/gqnM1HWA7S

    Evergreen Cahill is Australia's leading goal-scorer

    Cahill has 107 caps under his belt and has bagged 50 goals for Australia. Notably, he netted in the Socceroos' first ever World Cup goal in 2006 against Japan. He ended his career two appearances shy of matching the all-time record for Australia, which is held by goal-keeper Mark Schwarzer. He will also miss out on Australia's Asian Cup title defense this term.

    Will Cahill continue his club career?

    The 38-year-old might have called it a day on his international career but he is still pondering about his club future. His contract with London based second-tier club Millwall expired, earlier this year, but the evergreen striker is expected to ply his trade somewhere else. He might even return home to play for Melbourne City.
