NEW YORK (AFP) - Former Rangers and Manchester City midfielder Claudio Reyna, who won 112 caps for the American national team, announced his retirement on Wednesday.
The 34-year-old, who competed in three different World Cups (1998, 2002, 2006), made his decision after picking up a series of injuries.
The New York Red Bulls player spent most of his career in Europe, beginning in 1995 with German side Leverkusen, then moving to Wolfsburg, Rangers, Sunderland and Manchester City before returning to America last year.

Why is nobody commenting about such a fine American midfielder? I gather he's been hired by McDonalds as a "good faith" ambassador to Mexico! Soon Mexicans will also be overweight.Tarciturnio July 16th, 2008 23:51
who is that Reyna?, Even if he's going to be ambassador to Mexico, He wouldn't be famous, Mexican people prefer Tacos, why don't do a report about Tacos it could be fun and more interestingTontodonati July 17th, 2008 14:43
Jesus, I'm surprised that for a Mexican you don't know Claudio Reyna. He was the captain of the USA soccer team. He was born in New Jersey, Mexico.Crusader1987 July 17th, 2008 16:18
Claudio Reyna was a fine player. He will be tough to replace, but we shall overcome.indsc4 July 17th, 2008 18:00
Cheers, Claudio, on a great career. You made so many contributions to the US team. Good luck in retirement, and thanks for the memories.
