“The way the season has gone for me this year personally, it felt the right moment … physically, mentally and how I can contribute to the club and giving opportunities to others as well. “Most importantly, I want to thank my family, my wife Sam and kids Sonny, Billie and Mila for being there every day for me.
“You’re a true Melbourne Victory legend, and a credit to yourself your family and all your loved ones,” Postecoglou said.Muscat, now coaching Chinese Super League club Shanghai Port, told Broxham he could look back on his career with “great pride”.“Hopefully the next couple of games you can enjoy and then sail away into the sunset and reflect on what’s been a wonderful achievement.”“Good luck in your retirement. Hopefully you’ll stay involved in the game,” Merrick said.
“It’s a testament to Leigh’s qualities as a footballer coupled with his relentlessness which will see him step away from the field as the league’s all time game’s record holder, multiple championship winner and capped Socceroo.”
