Bradford City goalkeeper Colin Doyle is retiring from playing but will remain as goalkeeping coach at the club.
The 40-year-old has made 98 appearances for the club over two spells, although he has been restricted to 10 cup games since rejoining the Bantams as an understudy in 2022 in a player-coach capacity.
Doyle was part of the Birmingham City squads which won promotion to the Premier League in the 2006-07 and 2008-09 seasons and the League Cup in 2011. He spent 12 seasons at St Andrews, making 62 appearances.
He also won four caps for the Republic of Ireland, the first in 2007 and the last three in 2018. Doyle also turned out for Blackpool, and both Heart of Midlothian and Kilmarnock in the Scottish Premiership.
Doyle was second choice to Sam Walker last season until the club brought in Joe Hilton from Blackburn Rovers in February.
