Former Egypt international Ahmed 'Mido' Hossam has announced his retirement from football.
The striker joined English Championship side Barnsley last June but left the club in January after problems with injury and fitness.
"Today, I announce that I'm quitting football," the 30-year-old wrote on his Twitter page.
"I want to thank all those who supported me during my football career, especially Egypt fans."
Mido's spell at Barnsley was an inglorious end to his 14-year playing career, with the former Tottenham Hotspur striker making just one appearance during his time with the club.
No great loss to football.
Retiring at 30 might not be such a surprise for this guy. Unless I'm greatly mistaken his father is mega-rich (& I don't just mean by Egytian standards). If so, playing football was probably just a hobby to the guy. He certainly played as if it was.
