Retires from sport
FLos Angeles Football Club
January 9, 2023
Bale has announced an immediate retirement from club and international football.
ANALYSIS
This isn't too surprising for Bale, whose last work on the pitch was seen at the 2022 World Cup. His original contract with Los Angeles FC was supposed to last until June 2024, but there's no reason for him to play the first few months of the season and then leave, especially after he scored one of the biggest goals in club history in the MLS Cup Final. While the second stage of his career was marred by disappointment at Real Madrid, he secured numerous titles in the Spanish capital and was a presence on the pitch no matter where he played, reaching 141 goals in 394 official club appearances, as well as 41 international goals in 111 caps.

Hamstring injury confirmed

November 30, 2022
Bale was brought off with a hamstring injury during Tuesday's 3-0 loss to England, manager Robert Page told BBC Sport."[Bale] tried to get to half time but unfortunately, he felt his hamstring. Look at Joe Allen, first 90 minutes for ages and he's thrown everything at it. Ben Davies had to come off through injury. It was a massive effort from the group and I'm so proud of them."
