The Nigerian, who played a key role as the Blues secured a first Champions
League trophy in 2012, made the announcement on his personal Instagram
account having most recently been with Kuwait SC.
Having given the Blues over a decade of service after signing as a
fresh-faced 19 year-old, the midfielder lifted every major honour, which
included two Premier League titles, the Champions League and the Europa
League, among others. He clocked up a mammoth 372 appearances in a Chelsea
shirt.

Mikel also turned out in England in recent years for Middlesbrough and
Stoke City in the Championship and released the following on his Instagram
page on Tuesday afternoon…

'There is a saying that “all good things must come to an end”, and for
my professional football career, that day is today,' the post reads.
'I look back at the past 20 years of my career, and I must say that I am
very satisfied with all that I was able to achieve and more importantly
the human it has helped shape.
'All of this would not have been possible without the unwavering support
of my family, managers, clubs, coaches, team-mates and most importantly my
ever-loyal fans. You supported me through my highs and lows, even on days
that I did not live up to your expectations. I say a big thank you.
'I will also like to encourage everyone who I may have inspired one way or
the other in the course of my career to never give up on their dreams, for
every time you think about quitting, remind yourself why you started.
'This is not goodbye, it's the start of another journey, another chapter
of my life. I look forward to what the future holds and I hope you will
walk with me. Thank you.'
Enjoy your retirement, John!
