Former Republic of Ireland international John O'Shea will retire at the end of the season, his current club Reading have announced on Twitter.
Having come through the ranks at Manchester United, the versatile O'Shea won five Premier League titles at Old Trafford, as well as the FA Cup and Champions League.
The Waterford man, 38, has announced his retirement having spent the final season of his playing career at Reading after seven-year stint at Sunderland.
As well as making 393 appearances for Manchester United, O'Shea also collected 118 senior caps for the Republic of Ireland and captained the team at Euro 2016.
"A fabulous playing career is coming to a close - today, on his 38th birthday, John O'Shea has announced he is to retire at the end of the season," tweeted Reading.
"Just a very small part of his playing days have been spent with the Royals, but he has amassed a medal collection that any player would be extremely proud of, winning almost everything possible during almost 20 years as a professional footballer."
United tweeted out some of his highlights from his time with the club, including a last-minute winner at Liverpool, a memorable goal against Arsenal at Highbury and his nutmeg on Real Madrid's Luis Figo during a Champions League clash at Old Trafford.
