Former Brighton striker Bobby Zamora has announced his retirement from football.
Zamora, who turns 36 next month, has been without a club since his release by Brighton at the end of the 2015-16 season.
He has succumbed to a niggling hip problem that required surgery.
In an interview with his former Brighton teammate Adam Virgo published on the Championship club's website, Zamora said: "I think so, yes [his football career is over]. It was a frustrating time last year.
"My hip decided to let me down at the final hurdle. It resulted in just training on a Thursday and being in pain.
