Sheffield Wednesday Top Attacker Retires After Surprise Exit From Final Club
Former Sheffield Wednesday loanee, Aiden McGeady, has decided to retire from football at the age of 38.
The Republic of Ireland international, who spent half a season with the Owls back in 2015/16, had most recently been playing for Ayr United in the Scottish Championship after joining Lee Bullen’s side in a ‘dual-coaching’ role at the club. Things seemed to change when Bullen was replaced with Scott Brown, though, and his contract ended up being terminated by mutual consent a couple of weeks ago.
Now, on the back of that, McGeady has decided to hang up his boots and call time on a playing career that has lasted around two decades and seen him play over 600 professional games across three countries. For Wednesday he made 13, scoring once, after being signed by Carlos Carvalhal in 2016.
It remains to be seen what the now former winger will pivot into now that he will no longer be taking to the pitch in a playing role, however he can certainly bring a whole wealth of experience to whichever club he joins next if he does decide to remain in the game going forward.
The news was confirmed by talkSPORT this morning.
