Everton defender Leighton Baines has announced his retirement from football following the end of the 2019/20 Premier League campaign.

Baines – who had been offered a one-year contract extension by Everton – made his 420th and final appearance for the Toffees on Sunday, as Carlo Ancelotti’s side went down 3-1 to Bournemouth.

The 35-year-old – who has made nine appearances in all competitions this season – 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 League’s most consistent full-backs.
