The 32-year-old was part of last season's treble-winning side after arriving at Celtic Park last summer from Chinese side Shanghai Port. </p>
<p>
He won 57 caps for Australia and played all four games as they reached the last-16 of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, losing to eventual champions Argentina. </p>
<p>
His single season at Celtic saw him score seven goals in 42 games in all competitions as the team retained the Scottish Premiership title and won both domestic cups. </p>
<p>
He told the club's website: "While it feels really sad to be leaving the game, I just feel the time is right for me. I have been so fortunate to enjoy such a great career across the last 15 years, creating some fantastic memories. </p>
<p>
"I'm delighted to finish my career on such a high for Celtic and I would like to thank the fans for all the great support they gave me during the past year - I was delighted to be part of such a memorable season. </p>
<p>
"I hope Celtic continue to dominate the game and I wish Brendan, the new manager great success with the great group of lads at the club." </p>
<p>
Mooy began his career at Bolton before being signed by St Mirren in 2010 where he played his first professional matches. </p>
<p>
After returning to Australia for four seasons he was signed by Manchester City but did not play a first-team game for the club. </p>
<p>
He was a part of the Huddersfield team that won promotion to the Premier League in 2017 and played 65 times during their two-year stay in the top flight. </p>
<p>
Mooy spent two seasons at Brighton before moving to China in 2020. </p>

Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers said: "Clearly we are disappointed that Aaron will be retiring, however, it is something we absolutely respect. </p>
<p>
"He has done so much in the game for a number of clubs and for his country and he deserves to make this decision on his own terms. </p>
<p>
"I am delighted for Aaron that he has gone out on a real high after making such a telling contribution to Celtic last season and that, together with all his other achievements, should be a real source of pride to him." </p>
