Today, a working man hangs up his hard hat.
Andoni Iraola has retired from soccer after sixteen years. The first man ever to retire as a New York City FC player, the 34 year old bows out with 40 MLS appearances to his name.
“I would like to thank everyone inside and outside of the club who has made me feel at home from the very first moment. I would especially like to thank my teammates who I have learned from until the last day but also all of the coaches, medical personnel, sporting staff and everyone inside the office who always help to make our lives easier.
