Hull City caretaker manager Nick Barmby has announced his retirement from playing football.
The 37-year-old had taken a coaching and playing role after the departure of Nigel Pearson to Leicester City.
The former England international is expected to be announced as the full-time manager at the KC Stadium over the weekend.
Barmby played for a number of clubs, including Tottenham Hotspur, Liverpool and Everton, during a 21-year professional career.
Hull are currently sixth in the Championship table.
