Former Everton midfielder Fabian Delph has announced his retirement from football.
The 32-year-old spent three seasons at Goodison Park after signing for the club in 2019 from Manchester City, making 41 appearances in all competitions over the course of that spell. He left the club in the summer upon the expiry of his contract after managing some strong performances under Frank Lampard in the latter stages of his time with the club.
The former Leeds United, Aston Villa and City star was without a new side throughout the summer, and has now taken to social media to share a brief message confirming his retirement. Delph's Instagram post thanked a wide range of people for their support over the course of his career and he made clear he leaves the game with no regrets about his decision.
