De Vos set for retirement

Veteran Ipswich Town defender Jason De Vos has revealed he expects the current season to be his last.
The 34-year-old Town captain is out of contract in the summer and doesn't anticipate playing on next season.
The Canadian defender has made over 150 appearances since joining the Tractor Boys from Wigan Athletic in 2004.
"I expect this to be my last football club because playing for anyone else would be a step down unless, improbably, I were to go to a Premier League club," he told the Ipswich Evening Star.
"I'm very happy at Ipswich and I have no desire to play for anyone else. I don't see myself playing for anyone other than Ipswich Town. The gaffer knows that and he knows I'm happy here.
"My intention has always been at the end of my playing career to return to Canada and pursue whatever opportunities present themselves to me.
"At the moment, football is my job and it is my desire to win promotion.
"That is the goal we have set ourselves and if a run of form can materialise we can still go up automatically."
