Brad Friedel announces that he will retire from football at the end of the season.

Tottenham Hotspur goalkeeper Brad Friedel has announced that he will call time on his career at the end of the season.

The American stopper, who turns 44 next week, has spent the past 18 years playing in the Premier League at Liverpool, Blackburn Rovers, Aston Villa and current club Spurs.

Friedel will now turn his attention to completing his coaching badges, while also working as a pundit back in his US homeland.

"I'm incredibly proud of what I've achieved in my career," he told Tottenham's official website. "When I first started the journey I never imagined it would be this long, playing 23 seasons in total and representing some incredible clubs.

"One thing I will miss is that day-to-day interaction with the staff and players. There really is nothing like it but my 44th birthday is here so I think it is a good time to call it a day. I've got some wonderful opportunities in front of me working for Fox TV and I'm completing my pro licence.

"I've had a tremendous time here and met a lot of great people along the way. This is a wonderful football club and I feel honoured to have been a part of it for four years. The manager is great, while there is incredible talent in the changing room, both young and old and with time I see great things ahead."

Friedel, who holds the record for the most consecutive starts in the Premier League - 310 up until 2012 - has not made a single appearance for Spurs this season.
