Former Leicester City midfielder Danny Drinkwater has hung his boots at the age of 33. 

Danny Drinkwater started his professional career at hometown club Manchester United in 2009 but never played for them, instead serving loan spells at Cardiff City, Watford and Barnsley. 

His longest club spell was at Leicester City, where he helped them win the Championship in 2013-14 and the Premier League in 2015-16. He also made three appearances for England shortly afterwards.

Drinkwater joined Chelsea in 2017, subsequently serving loan spells at Burnley, Aston Villa, Kasimpasa and Reading. He became a free agent when his contract with Chelsea ended in June 2022.
