Kieran Trippier Announces End Of International Career

England's defender, Kieran Trippier, has announced his retirement from international football. The decision comes after a successful career representing his country on the global stage.

Trippier, who made his England debut in 2012, has been a key figure in the Three Lions' setup for over a decade.

He played a pivotal role in their run to the 2018 World Cup semi-finals and was also part of the Euro 2020 final squad. 

In a statement released on his social media channels, Trippier expressed his gratitude for the opportunities and experiences he had while representing England. He highlighted the pride and honor he felt in wearing the national team jersey and thanked the fans for their unwavering support. 

"It has been an absolute privilege to represent my country for so many years," Trippier said. "I've created memories that will last a lifetime, and I'm incredibly grateful for the support I've received from the England fans. While it was a tough decision to make, I feel it's the right time to step away and focus on my club career." 

Trippier's retirement from international football marks the end of an era for the England national team. His versatility, defensive prowess, and ability to deliver dangerous crosses from the right-back position will be sorely missed.
