Brandon Jacobs announces retirement

New York Giants running back Brandon Jacobs announces that he is retiring after 10 seasons in the NFL.

Brandon Jacobs has announced that he is retiring after 10 seasons in the NFL.

The running back spent the majority of his career with the New York Giants, re-signing for the NFC East side after spending the 2012 campaign with the San Francisco 49ers.

The 31-year-old said: "After nine years in this whirlwind business they call the NFL, I am proud to announce that I am hanging up my cleats. I've had an amazing run and I appreciate all of the support from the fans through the good and the bad.

"The New York Giants are a great organisation and I am proud to have been a part of it for so long. I love my coaches and my teammates and will miss them as well as the game itself but I am healing well from my surgery and I look forward to running around with my kids for years to come."

Jacobs is the Giants all-time leader in rushing touchdowns, scoring 60 during his time with the side.
