Everton defender Leighton Baines has announced his retirement from football following the end of the 2019/20 Premier League campaign.
Baines â who had been offered a one-year contract extension by Everton â made his 420th and final appearance for the Toffees on Sunday, as Carlo Ancelottiâs side went down 3-1 to Bournemouth.
The 35-year-old â who has made nine appearances in all competitions this season â came on as a second-half substitute at Goodison Park.
Baines joined Everton from Wigan Athletic in 2007, going on to become one of the Premier Leagueâs most consistent full-backs.
