Frank Lampard has revealed that he is "done" with English football when his loan spell at Manchester City comes to an end.
The 36-year-old will join up with New York City FC when his spell with City ends following the conclusion of the season, and the former England international has admitted that he has no desire to return to extend his 20-year playing career in the Premier League.
"I've been very fortunate to play for such a long time in this league with some great players and managers and against some great opponents," the Chelsea great told Sky Sports News.
"But it's certainly time for me to move on. It's time for me to look back and be that old bloke who says 'I used to play there'. I'm very ready for that.
"Nothing could persuade me more than the idea of Christmas with the family where I can have a bit more turkey and stay up a bit later with the family. That's me done."
Lampard has made 36 appearances for City this season, scoring seven goals.
