DUBLIN (Reuters) - Ireland's most prolific goal-scorer Robbie Keane announced his retirement on Wednesday after an 18-year career in which he scored 67 goals for his country to put him 15th on the list of all-time international marksmen.

The 36-year-old Los Angeles Galaxy striker said in a statement he would retire from international football following Ireland's friendly against Oman on Aug. 31.
