MELBOURNE (Reuters) - Australia's long-serving goalkeeper Lydia Williams will retire from international soccer after the Paris Olympics, drawing the curtain on a career in women's football that has spanned nearly 20 years.

The 35-year-old Indigenous Australian will bow out after more than 100 international appearances and five World Cups with the "Matildas".
