'My body's breaking' - Hibs' Gayle set to retire

Hibernian forward Dwight Gayle says his "body is breaking down" and he intends to retire as a player at the end of this season.

The former Crystal Palace and Newcastle United striker signed a season-long deal at Easter Road in the summer and has scored two goals in nine appearances.

Gayle netted in last weekend's 3-1 win over Ross County but is frustrated at being unable to contribute to the team as he would wish.

"Yes, I've started to express my feelings," said the 35-year-old, who has already gained his Uefa B coaching licence.
