Surely everyone has all noticed by now that modern sports science has helped professional players to play well beyond 30. Players in Europe are making it the new normal to knock on 30.

“Goodbye to the beautiful game” the 32-year-old sent messages of gratitude to all of his former teams, as well as the junior and senior South African national teams as he called time on a 15-year-long professional career,” Doutie said in an official statement on his social media.
