Former Everton winger Aaron Lennon has announced his retirement from football with an emotional statement.
The former Blues midfielder has been without a club since the summer, when he was released by Burnley following their relegation to the Championship. He finishes his career with 43 goals in 607 appearances for five different clubs, as well as 21 caps for England.
Lennon enjoyed two stints at Everton, with his first coming on loan from Tottenham Hotspur in 2014/15, before it was made permanent at the end of that campaign. He would go on to make 77 appearances for the Blues, scoring nine goals.
