Bristol City midfielder Wade Elliott has announced that he has retired from football to take up a role on the club's coaching staff.

The 36-year-old captained the Robins to the League One title and Johnstone's Paint Trophy in his last season as a player.

Elliott, who scored 80 goals in 706 appearances during his 15-year career, will take charge of Bristol's Under-21 side.

"It wasn't a difficult decision," he told the club's official website.

"Over the summer my mind was naturally leaning more towards the coaching job and how I would approach that."

Elliott also played for Bournemouth, Burnley and Birmingham City during his career.
