6 November 2026
Former England defender Conor Coady has announced his retirement from professional football at the age of 33. The centre-back ends his playing career after leaving Wrexham by mutual consent in August.
Coady made 503 club appearances across spells involving Liverpool, Huddersfield, Sheffield United, Wolves, Everton, Leicester, Wrexham and Charlton. He earned ten England caps and was part of the Euro 2020 and 2022 World Cup squads. After struggling for regular playing time at Wrexham, he spent time on loan at Charlton before leaving the Welsh club. He has since begun gaining coaching experience with Liverpool’s youth teams.
