Ex Everton attacker, Cahill retires at 39

After a short stint with Indian club Jamshedpur, Tim Cahill has all but played his final professional game of football with his contract set to expire at the end of March.

 The Aussie legend is set to hang up the boots after a distinguished career. The 39-year-old striker made his name in England with Millwall and Everton before embarking on a whirlwind few years that saw him play club football in America, China, Australia and India.

The Socceroos all-time leading goal scorer, Cahill retired from international football after the 2018 World Cup and confirmed his club career is over when asked if he’ll go around for another season.

“No, I’m an old man now in football years,” Cahill told Optus Sport’s Premier League Today. “I’d love to keep playing, you know 39, had a great stint for six months in India. “But I’m interested in TV, going to start my A-Licence and spend quality time with my family and chill out for a bit.

“It was amazing to play in four big continents. I had a great career and I’m really thankful.”Having already obtained his UEFA B Licence, Cahill is keen to pursue a future career in coaching but is in no rush to make the move to the dugout.
