Watford Star Heurelho Gomes Declares His Intention to Retire and Take on a New Profession

Watford goalkeeper Heurelho Gomes has expressed his intention to retire from professional football in 2019, in order to become a 'caring super-agent', as per The Sun.

The Brazilian, who signed for Watford from Tottenham Hotspur back in 2014, declared his intention to retire, despite claiming the Hornets wanted him to stay on longer during recent contract negotiations:

"If it was up to [Watford], [Gomes' new contract] would have been longer - but I wanted two years as things can change, even if I feel great. I know my limit in terms of time.
