Bournemouth keeper forced to quit.

Bournemouth goalkeeper Neil Moss has been forced to retire from the game because of a persistent wrist injury.

The 33-year-old shot-stopper has been sidelined since January when he first suffered the injury but a recent scan showed that the break had still failed to heal.

Moss told the Bournemouth Echo: "The surgeon said there was nothing he could do. He could have tried the same operation but there was a zero chance of it working, so that was that.

"My aim now is to get the wrist back so I can at least use it for the simple things - that will be a hard process in itself.

"At the moment, it's so raw and I'm feeling sorry for myself, but I've got no regrets. I've had a decent career but I just wish I could have gone on a few more years.

"I felt my best years would have been in front of me. I still feel fit and strong and I certainly felt I could have had a good season in League Two.

"It's been up and down over my 17 years in the game. My best times certainly came at Bournemouth."
