England's record goalscorer and Arsenal forward Kelly Smith has retired from football at the age of 38.
Smith, who scored 46 goals for her country, became Britain's first female professional footballer when she joined American side New Jersey in 1999.
The striker earned 117 England caps, played in six major tournaments and represented Team GB at the 2012 London Olympics.
Smith won five FA Cups with Arsenal, scoring six goals in those five finals.
"It just feels the time is right now," she told BBC Sport. "I think I've had a very good career at both international and club level, I've travelled the world and, at the age of 38, the body is telling me it needs to stop.
"I don't have any regrets, I've loved every minute of it. Every time I put that England shirt on, I felt a lot of emotion playing for my country.
"The game is in a magnificent place at the moment and it's good to step away at the right time."
Smith, who ended her international career in 2015, played in two World Cups and four European Championships, scoring a goal in the final of Euro 2009.
Smith, who also played in the US for Seton Hall Pirates, Philadelphia Charge and Boston Breakers, took up a player-coach role at Arsenal in 2013.
She has spent the past two full seasons as assistant to manager Pedro Martinez Losa at the Gunners.
"I want to see where my coaching career goes," she said. "I'd love to see how far I can develop as a coach.
"There are goals to manage Arsenal, the club I love, and even England - and who knows?
"But I'm at the bottom of the ladder at the moment so I'm just really looking forward to seeing how I develop."
Players from around the world are expected to take part in a match to celebrate Smith's career, set to be held at Arsenal Ladies' home ground in Borehamwood on 19 February.
'England were lucky to have her'
"Kelly is one of the best players in the world and someone who inspired me throughout my career. Without doubt, women's football wouldn't be where it is today without her contribution.
"England were very lucky to have her and I was extremely proud to play alongside her."
England manager Mark Sampson:
"She will be remembered as one of the greatest players to have played the game.
"The many thousands of young people who took up the game after being inspired by Kelly will never forget the inspiration and joy she brought just from watching her play.
"It will absolutely be a loss to the game on the field. I hope she will now go on to enjoy a wonderful career off the field."
England and Chelsea midfielder Katie Chapman:
"Kelly, to me, is a player that changed any game. Whether she started or came off the bench, you knew that a goal was coming.
"She is a great talent and a great inspiration, especially for young players. She takes the time out to encourage young players and it is a shame she is retiring, but I am sure she will go on to play an important role in the continued development of women's football."
