The 37-year-old, who is currently with League Two Swindon, announced the news in a statement on his Twitter feed.

Taylor started his career at Luton and went on to play in the Premier League for Portsmouth, Bolton, West Ham and Burnley.

Taylor wrote: “After 20 years as a professional footballer, the time has come for me to retire at the end of the current season.
