Ex-MK Dons and Charlton striker Aneke retires

Former MK Dons and Charlton Athletic striker Chuks Aneke has confirmed his retirement from playing.

The 33-year-old came through Arsenal's academy but made just one first-team appearance for the Gunners, in 2011.

He was as a late substitute in a League Cup game against Shrewsbury Town, coincidentally the team he would end his career with 15 years later.

In between, he played for Belgian side Zulte Waregem, MK Dons, Charlton and Birmingham City, and also had loan spells with Stevenage, Preston North End and Crewe Alexandra.

He scored 94 goals in 414 games during his career, 24 of them during two loan spells at Crewe between 2012 and 2014, earning him a move into Belgium's top flight after his release by Arsenal.

He scored just four times in 41 games for Waregem, but did net in the Europa League.

He was more successful at MK Dons, with 33 goals in 94 appearances, and Charlton, where, across two spells, he played 138 games and scored 27 times.

He also had a year in the Championship at Birmingham and played the first half of last season with Shrewsbury, with his final appearance coming against Brisrtol Rovers on New Year's Day.
