Fabian Delph has called time on his career at 32 after announcing his surprise retirement.
The versatile midfielder had been at Everton, whom he left in the summer following the end of his contract, having started his career at Leeds United, bursting onto the scene when the Yorkshire side were in League One. Delph's trophy cabinet owes to his time at Manchester City, where he was part of the club's centurion year under Pep Guardiola.
He also played for Aston Villa, where he spent six years. It was the Midlands club who made the jump and signed a highly-rated Delph from Leeds in the summer of 2009. Then just 19, he cost Villa £8m, and won the first of his 20 England caps whilst playing at Villa Park.
