POPULAR defender Andrew Milne has been forced to retire from football at the age of 30 due to work commitments and an ongoing ankle injury.

The long-serving Tadcaster Albion defender will hang up his boots having been sidelined since 2018.

Milne, 30, joined Tadcaster in 2014, and has previously featured for Leeds United, Barrow, FC Halifax Town and Scarborough Athletic, and also represented Scotland at Under-19s.

He was part of the Brewers squad that won the Northern Counties East League Premier in 2016 to elevate the club to the Northern Premier Division One North.

The club said: “It will be difficult to replace the quality, strength and experience of Milney in the heart of defence and his never-to-be-forgotten Terry Butcher-esque episodes where no head wound would ever stop him.”
