Seattle Sounders center back Chad Marshall has announced his retirement midway through the 2019 MLS season.
The 34-year-old was forced to retire due to a knee injury that has kept him sidelined since May 4.
Marshall ends his career as one of the greatest defenders to ever play in MLS, having become the only player in league history to win MLS Defender of the Year three times (2008, 2009, 2014).
