British Olympic champion Mo Farah reportedly took to Twitter to reveal that he would be competing for England at this year's Commonwealth Games in Glasgow.

Farah tweeted to his fans saying that he would be running in the Commonwealth Games this year, adding that he would see his fans in Glasgow.

According to the BBC, the double Olympic and world champion tweeted that he has not decided which events he would be competing in - 1,500 metre, 5,000 metre or 10,000 metre- but he would let his fans know as soon as he decides.

Farah, who finished eight April's London Marathon, was unsure if he would return to the track in Glasgow, as his coach, Alberto Salazar, had advised him not to run any more marathons until after the 2016 Rio Olympics, the report added.
