NIKKOLE TEJA has made the not “easy decision” to retire from football.
The OnlyFans star has hung up her boots and will no longer play for Club Puebla in Mexico.
Teja, 24, announced her retirement with a statement that she posted on her social media accounts.
The American wrote: “I have made the by no means easy decision to retire from professional soccer.
“If I only live this one life, I am very happy to have gotten to know and love football.
“If there is life after that, I hope to come into contact with football again and feel that football loves me too.”

She only joined Puebla from Necaxa at the start of the year but struggled to get off the bench.
She added: “Many thanks to Club Puebla for this opportunity, which, although short, was quite fun.

“I don’t have to prove anything to anyone but myself.
“I know what I am worth as a player, a daughter, a friend and most of all as a person.
“I will not regret my departure. But I will regret the experiences I had to go through.”
Last year the stunning football revealed that she had an OnlyFans account.
Fans could subscribe to the account for £14 a month and often described her pictures as “illegal”.
The beauty has an incredible 369,000 followers on social media and she often stuns in dresses and underwear.
Puebla released their own statement responding to her retirement and wished her luck on her next move.
It read: “Club Puebla Feminil reports that Nikkole Teja has decided to undertake personal projects independent of soccer, so it causes withdrawal from our squad.
“We appreciate your professionalism in the time you were within the institution and wish you success in whatever comes.”
