England defender Kieran Trippier has announced his retirement from international football.
The 33-year-old was capped 54 times with his only goal coming against Croatia in the 2018 World Cup semi-final defeat in Moscow.
The Newcastle right-back, who made his debut in 2017 under former manager Gareth Southgate, captained England three times.
"I never thought as a young lad from Bury that I would play for my country let alone achieve 54 caps," Trippier posted on social media.
"It's been one of the biggest honours of my life to represent my country at four major tournaments.
"I want to say a big thank you to Gareth and all the staff that have worked with the England squad for the trust they have placed in me throughout the years."
