28-year-old Sydney FC defender Seb Ryan has sensationally quit soccer after becoming disillusioned with the sport. 

Ryall who is a three-time A-League winner with two clubs (Sydney FC and Melbourne Victory), is having a break from football after his club agreed to terminate his contract. 

In a press release, the defender says it's the right time to walk away from the game he has been playing professional since 18. 

"It has been a privilege and an honour to represent this great club for as long as I have and winning trophies for my home town has been an incredible experience," Ryall said. 

"I love this club and have made some fantastic friends but for now I feel I need a break from football to pursue some other interests and regain my desire for playing the game.

"It is a big decision, everyone at the club has been unbelievably supportive, and I’m hugely thankful for everything they have done for me during the last nine years.

"Our members have also given me incredible backing throughout my time here and Sydney FC is the only Australian club I would ever wish to play for."
