Chelsea flop and ex-England international Danny Drinkwater targeted by trolls claiming he’s ‘hit rock bottom’ after revealing surprise new job post-retirement

The ex-England international is keeping busy after announcing his retirement from professional football at the age of just 33 in October last year. The former midfielder posted a photograph of himself on a construction site on his social media, only to be targeted by trolls.

Drinkwater, who was an integral part of the 2015-16 Premier League-winning Leicester City side, left for Chelsea in an ambitious move in 2017. His transfer, however, proved to be a failure as he soon found himself frozen out of the first team at Stamford Bridge and then was sent out on four different loan spells.

The 34-year-old reshared a comment from a troll on his Instagram story who wrote: "F****** hell Danny you've hit rock bottom."

In response, the former player wrote: "Some of these messages, behaveeee. I love being on site grafting! It's a choice."

There were rumours of Drinkwater approaching the Foxes last year after leaving the Blues over a final move, however, the transfer did not materialise. It's good to see him keeping busy and enjoying his post-football life.
