Wales striker Kayleigh Barton to retire from football
Cymru's Kayleigh Barton has announced her retirement from football at the age of 37. The Charlton Athletic striker, who has scored 22 goals for Wales, was part of the squad at this year's UEFA's Women's Euros in Switzerland. With 89 caps, Barton is now to take on the role of Cymru's Women's under 17s Assistant Coach for FAW. In a statement, Barton said: "Ever since a young age, I've always loved football. From playing in the garden with my younger brothers, having the first letter for my Cymru age group call up, to representing the senior team at our first ever major finals. "I've had a phenomenal football career both representing my country and at club level, and it's something that I'm so proud of." Barton, from Cardiff, began her career at the city's club in 2012 before moving onto Yeovil Town in 2016, where she spent time on loan to Chieti Calcio Femminile. She then moved on to play for Brighton & Hove Albion in 2018, before joining Charlton Athletic in 2023. Barton added: "To my friends and family... I can't thank you enough for always supporting me throughout my football career. To the two people who have been there from the very beginning: you've travelled the country to watch me play, and even now, you continue to support every decision I make. Thank you – from the bottom of my heart. "What a journey it's been. I've experienced incredible highs and tough lows, but those moments are what made this path so special. Barton also thanked Welsh fans: "Throughout my career the Red Wall have always supported us, and you have all been phenomenal. When you travel away with us, we can hear the noise. "Please make sure you continue to support the team through thick and thin, and I will be in the stands with you doing the same." She concluded: "In football, you fight and go through it for so many years. There are so many highs, so many lows, but to finally achieve something that you've always want to do as a young girl and represent your country on the world stage. It means everything. "I'll definitely miss you all, but I think now is the time to say goodbye. Diolch am bopeth."
