Steven Gerrard retires from football after 19 years of incredible career |
The 36-year-old calls time on a 19-year playing career, having made his debut for Liverpool on November 29, 1998, and opted against extending his contract with the MLS side earlier this month.
Gerrard played 710 times for the Reds and won eight major trophies, including the Champions League in 2005, before moving to America in the summer of 2015.
"Following recent media speculation surrounding my future I can confirm my retirement from playing professional football," Gerrard said in a statement.
"I have had an incredible career and am thankful for each and every moment of my time at Liverpool, England and LA Galaxy.
"As a teenager I fulfilled my childhood dream by pulling on the famous red shirt of Liverpool, and when I made my debut against Blackburn Rovers in November 1998 I could never have imagined what would then follow over the next 18 years".
