Newcastle United: Ronnie the johny retires

Former Manchester United defender Ronny Johnsen has announced his retirement from football.

The 35-year-old has spent the past month deciding whether to carry on playing, following his release by Newcastle United in January.

Johnsen signed for The Magpies on a short-term deal in September after he was offloaded by Aston Villa last summer.

Not suprised to be honest, since he left Man U he sorta went downhill and at 35 he is getting a bit past it. Had a good career though....

yer. i think he arrived around the same time as solskjaer, and he did well at utd, but when he left, he was always going to be goind down hill

Former Manchester United and Newcastle stopper Ronny Johnsen has made a U-turn and signed a one year contract at Norwegian outfit Valerenga. The 35-year-old stopper had reportedly resigned himself to retirement last week, but has now elected to extend his career for a final year. In England, Johnsen enjoyed a trophy laden spell at Old Trafford before excelling at Aston Villa for a couple of seasons.
