Thierry Henry has announced his retirement from football and will join Sky Sports as a football expert and ambassador from the start of 2015.   

The former Arsenal and France striker will work across Sky Sports’ schedule of live international, European and domestic football, joining a line-up of experts that include Gary Neville, Jamie Carragher, Jamie Redknapp and Graeme Souness.

In a club career that spanned 20 years for Monaco, Juventus, Arsenal, Barcelona and the New York Red Bulls, Henry lifted over 35 major individual and team trophies including the FIFA World Cup and UEFA European Championship for France, the UEFA Champions League and La Liga with Barcelona, the Premier League and FA Cup at Arsenal, the French League at Monaco and the MLS Shield with the New York Red Bulls. 

He said: “I’ve been fortunate enough to have had an amazing playing career with many incredible memories and now I can’t wait for the next chapter to begin with Sky Sports. 

“I played for some of the best teams in football and now I’m joining what I think is the best team in television. I’m looking forward to joining the guys and helping to provide Sky Sports viewers with the best possible analysis. I can’t wait.”

Sky Sports managing director Barney Francis said:​ “The best team just got better. The addition of Thierry Henry to our team of experts will help take Sky Sports’ football coverage to the next level. 

“He’s played on the greatest stages, with some of the greatest players, in some of the greatest teams and for the first time, viewers can enjoy his insight and opinions throughout the football season.”
