Former Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand has revealed that he might be playing in his last season as an active footballer.
The 35-year-old Queens Park Rangers defender is considering calling it quits at the end of the season, adding that his body is sending him signals to hang up his boots.
"I probably think the end of this season," Ferdinand told The Jonathan Ross Show when asked about retirement.
"I'm not fearful of retirement, I'm looking forward to it, I can see some good stuff hopefully happening ahead.
"You get to a time where you start understanding your body and the strains playing football (is) putting your body through, going out and training every day."
"I will stay in football I'm sure in some capacity. I've signed to BT and stuff and I've done stuff with the BBC at the World Cup which I really enjoyed and it's something I'm sure I will take up and do a bit more (of).
"I'm doing my (coaching) badges as well and there are other bits and pieces outside of football."
