“Rama G has retired. Last year I did have big thoughts about it,” he told iDiski Times.
“I was fighting in my mind because this was not the way I wanted to retire or announce my retirement.
“However, I had to come to terms with the fact that mentally I’ve been broken. So it wasn’t an easy decision for me to come to terms with, that I would have to retire now.
“But I think it’s time that I leave the beautiful game. Yesterday I really came to terms with the fact that now it’s time, so yes Rama G is retired.”
