Injury-hit Hamilton star Tom Taiwo retires from football at 29

Hamilton midfielder Tom Taiwo has been forced to retire from football, aged just 29.

The former Hibs and Falkirk star signed for Accies last summer, but made only a few appearances during the season.

In a statement, Taiwo said: "Unfortunately I have taken the tough decision to announce my retirement from football.

"Three injury-hit seasons in succession have left me struggling to perform, but more importantly, feel the way I want to.

"On and off the pitch, I have been fortunate to deal with great people at great clubs and without your help I couldn't have fulfilled the career I have. Thank you, I will always be grateful.

"Most importantly, to the people that matter the most - my family - you've given me more support than I could ever ask for, and for that and much more I love you all.

"Onto the next chapter - TT."
