Former Tottenham defender Kieran Trippier has stepped down from further engagements with England as he retires from international football.
Kieran Trippier netted his only international goal in England‘s 2018 World Cup semi-final loss against Croatia. He opened the scoring, but England fell 2-1 in extra time.
Trippier, who has also played for Burnley and Atlético Madrid, earned 54 caps for England, captaining the Three Lions thrice. He also represented England at the 2022 World Cup and the 2021 Euro Championship.

The 33-year-old (turns 34 next month) featured in six of England’s seven matches at Euro 2024 in Germany. There’s no denying that his international career has been marked by consistency and key performances on the big stage.
“I never thought as a young lad from Bury that I would play for my country let alone achieve 54 caps,” Trippier wrote on Instagram.
“It’s been one of the biggest honours of my life to represent my country at 4 major tournaments.
“I want to say a big thank you to Gareth and all the staff that have worked with the England squad for the trust they have placed in me throughout the years.
“Thank you to all my team mates – we have had some very special moments reaching 2 Euro finals, and a World Cup semi-final and I am sure in the future this group of players will win a major tournament.”
