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

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

The 35-year-old ā€“ who has made nine appearances in all competitions this season ā€“ 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 Leagueā€™s most consistent full-backs.
