Ethiopia’s prolific goalscoring striker Seladin Seid has announced his retirement from football, ending a 15-year career.
The 34-year-old confirmed his decision to hang up his boots today, bringing an end to an illustrious career during which he became Ethiopia’s all-time leading scorer.
Seladin played a key role in helping Ethiopia qualify for the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations under coach Sewnet Bishaw, scoring crucial goals in qualifying. His international tally stood at 14 goals from 28 matches for his country.
