Djibril Cisse has quit football to become a DJ.

The fex- QPR striker, who played 26 games for Hoops in 2012-13, has announced his retirement from professional football at the age of 35.

The former Hoop called time on his career in October 2015 due to a debilitating hip injury but after surgery last year and hoped to get playing again.

Efforts to find a new club came to nothing, and now he hopes to be in a different sort of club spinning turntables - note the first two letters of his name.

"I have loved being a footballer," Cisse told Yahoo Sport.

"Up until now, the ball was my whole life. I would have liked to have continued my career, which was interrupted in spite of me, but I have to admit today that football is finished.

“I loved being a footballer, and so far the ball has been my life. I would have liked to continue playing but I must admit today that football is over.
