FORMER Millwall goalkeeper Bartosz Bialkowski revealed he had several options to continue playing as he officially announced his retirement from football.
Bialkowski, 37, left The Den this summer after five seasons. He made 169 appearances for the Lions after joining from Ipswich Town.
Bialkowski, who won one Poland cap, was named Millwall’s player of the year in 2019-20 and 2020-21.
He retires with a total of 480 club appearances having also played for Notts County, Barnsley and Southampton in England.
“I rejected various options and decided that I was feeling good where I am now, that is, Spain, with my family. Something is over. At the moment I can say that I am finishing,” he told Kanałem Sportowym.
“I could play another year or two because I feel good physically. However, [there is] such burnout, fatigue with football.”
