Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning appears set to confirm he is bringing down the curtain on his illustrious career.

Peyton Manning will reportedly announce his retirement on Monday, bringing an end to a glittering career in the NFL.

The 39-year-old Denver Broncos quarterback said he wanted to take time to consider his future after winning a second Super Bowl ring last month.

And Manning now appears set to call it a day, with Ian Rapoport - a writer for the NFL's official website - announcing on Twitter that the decision would be officially confirmed on Monday.

Manning will end his career as the all-time leader in career passing yards and touchdowns, having racked up 71,940 yards and 539 scores through the air.
