As well as helping Blackburn to promotion back to the Premier League in 2001, Dunn won the League Cup a year later when Rovers beat Tottenham 2-1 in the final |
"I have lived the dream of playing for my home-town club, during which time to be capped by my country, whilst wearing the blue-and-white halves, transcended even the wildest of those dreams," said Dunn.
"It is on record that I am working towards the highest coaching qualifications I can achieve and one day, who knows, the dream may be resurrected in the Ewood technical area.
"For the short term however, I intend to carry on playing, knowing that my last starting appearance in the FA Cup win at Charlton confirmed that there was still something worthwhile to contribute."
