POPULAR goalkeeper, Clayton Ince has announced his decision to retire from professional football after Saturday's final match of the season against MK Dons.

It will bring the curtain down on a colourful 25-year playing career for the 37 year-old who has established himself as one of the best goalkeepers ever to serve the club.

The Trinidad & Tobago International arrived at Banks's Stadium in July 2006 from Coventry City. Playing a key role in our League Two Championship success of 2006/07 where he kept a record-breaking 22 clean sheets, he continued his fine form at the higher level and a further 19 shut-outs followed in 2007/08.

He was named Player of the Season and Players' Player of the Season last term, during which time he also lined up against England in an International Friendly for Trinidad & Tobago.

This term he has 27 outings to his name but has played second-fiddle to Rene Gilmartin since the end of February.

Look out for an interview with Clayton Ince on Friday plus reaction from manager, Chris Hutchings and a tribute to the big man...
