Blackburn Rovers midfielder David Dunn has confirmed that he will leave the club at the end of the season.
The 35-year-old graduated through the Ewood Park youth system before going on to make 169 appearances for the team.
Dunn joined Birmingham City in 2003, but he returned to Rovers four years later and played a further 208 games.
"I have lived the dream of playing for my home-town club, during which time to be capped by my country, whilst wearing the blue-and-white halves, transcended even the wildest of those dreams," he is quoted as saying by BBC Sport.
"It is on record that I am working towards the highest coaching qualifications I can achieve and one day, who knows, the dream may be resurrected in the Ewood technical area.
"For the short term however, I intend to carry on playing, knowing that my last starting appearance in the FA Cup win at Charlton confirmed that there was still something worthwhile to contribute."
Dunn earned his one and only England senior cap in 2002 against Portugal.
