Claus Jensen

Former Denmark international Claus Jensen has been forced to retire.

The 30-year-old has decided to hang up his boots after being plagued by injuries in the last three years.

The former Bolton and Charlton midfielder left Fulham at the end of last season after seeing out his contract.

Jensen has reluctantly decided to quit playing as he has failed to recover from his injuries.

"I have decided to put an end to my professional career." said Jensen "I am not lacking the desire, the ambitions and enjoyment to play.

"It's my body which signals which it can't cope with football on the top level."

"I only got pains when I play football."
