London: Everton left-back Leighton Baines has announced his retirement from football. Baines joined Everton from Wigan Athletic in summer 2007 and played 420 matches, scoring 39 goals.
He made his final appearance in Everton's closing game of 2019/20 Premier League season, against Bournemouth, coming on for Lucas Digne with 20 minutes remaining on Sunday evening. "I am incredibly proud to have represented Everton for the past 13 years and my decision to retire has been a difficult one to make," the 35-year-old was quoted as saying by the club's official website.
"After speaking to my family, I feel now is the right time to end my playing career but I do so with many great memories at this proud football club. "As someone from the city, Everton means so much to me and it has been an honour to be part of the club for so long.
