Kevin-Prince Boateng has revealed that he's planning to hang up his boots after the 2022/23 season.

"This is my last season as an active professional footballer," the 35-year-old said at Hertha's training camp in Kienbaum on Tuesday.

"It doesn't matter what happens. Even if we play Champions League next year - this is my last season."

The veteran midfielder recently extended his contract with Hertha by a further year.
