Jamie Carragher will retire from football at the end of the season, the club have announced.
Carragher, who use to be an Everton fan, joined the Reds in 1994 as a trainee has made 723 appearances to date since making debut in 1997 in a League Cup tie against Middlesborough.
"This will be my last season at Liverpool and my last as a professional footballer,” he told liverpoolfc.com
"I'm making this announcement now because I don't want the manager or the club to be answering questions on my future when I've already decided what I am going to do.
"I will be fully committed between now and the end of the season to doing the very best for Liverpool Football Club, as I've done my entire career since joining aged just nine-years-old.
"It has been a privilege and an honour to represent this great club for as long as I have and I am immensely proud to have done so and thankful for all the support I have had. There are many memories I want to share and people to thank, but now is not the time for that.
"I won't be making any further comment on this decision until the end of the season; all our focus and concentration should be on achieving the best possible finish in the league this season and trying to win the last remaining trophy we are competing in."
