Garry Thompson, who began the current season as player-manager at Bradford (Park Avenue), has retired from playing.
The 39-year-old winger started out at Morecambe and played over 300 games for the club. He was part of the Shrimps side that won promotion to the Football League in 2007.
He also won promotions at Scunthorpe United and Bradford City, enjoying perhaps his career highlight with the latter as he helped the Bantams reach the 2013 League Cup final despite being in League Two.
