Former Liverpool and England captain Steven Gerrard has retired, ending a 19-year playing career. Gerrard who is 36, played 710 times for the Reds, winning nine trophies. The midfielder is England's fourth most-capped player with 114 appearances and captained the side at three of the six major tournaments he played at.
"I feel lucky to have experienced so many wonderful highlights over the course of my career, I have had an incredible career and am thankful for each and every moment of my time at Liverpool, England and LA Galaxy said Gerrard.
Gerrard, who is working towards his Uefa A coaching licence - the second-highest qualification available, has also been linked with moves to Celtic and Newcastle United, as well as a return to Anfield as a coach.
On Thursday, he said he will take time to consider his options before making an announcement "very soon", adding: "I am excited about the future and feel I still have a lot to offer the game, in whatever capacity that may be."
