Moe Wold will retire from football

Everton defender Ingrid Moe Wold will retire from football following the conclusion of the 2020/21 campaign.

The Norway international joined the Toffees last summer and has been one of the consistent performers for Willie Kirk’s side this season.

The 31-year-old has made the decision to pursue a career in physiotherapy in her home country.

Wold finishes her career with 12 major honours and has represented her country twice at the World Cup and once at the European Championship.

The Norwegian spoke of her decision to hang up her boots.

“It’s the most difficult decision in my life,” the full-back told evertontv.

“There's been some really tough few weeks but I think it’s the right decision for me and that I’m ready to start the next chapter in life.

“I’m a physiotherapist so I want to work with young athletes doing injury prevention.

“That’s my dream job so I’m really lucky to get that opportunity to have something to do after my [playing] career.
