Signing for Stoke
Did Michael Owen play for Stoke City? Yes — he joined the club in the summer of 2012 for what turned out to be his final professional season, making a limited number of appearances as his body increasingly struggled with the toll of a long injury history.
Retirement in 2013
Owen announced his retirement from professional football in March 2013, playing his final matches that spring before officially retiring in May 2013 at the age of 33. He closed out a 17-year career that had taken him from Liverpool's academy to five different clubs and a Ballon d'Or.
Since retiring, Owen has moved into broadcasting and horse racing — see what he's doing now and his Manor House Stables business.
