Everton legend Toni Duggan has announced her retirement from football, 17 years after making her debut.
Toni Duggan, the former Everton and Manchester City forward, has announced her retirement from football, 17 years after making her debut at the Toffees. The 33-year-old originally burst onto the scene as a 16-year-old at Everton during the 2007/08 campaign, before going on to win the PFA Women's Young Player of the Year and lifting the Women's FA Cup in the following year.
She said: 'I had offers from around the world but none that felt right, when you have a baby, they become your priority. It didn't feel right but I think I've made the right decision.' When asked about what avenue she did want to pursue in her post-playing days, Duggan admitted she is eager to continue working in football but wants to discover where her talents best lie before committing to one role. 'I'm not too sure what is next,' she continued.
