Everton defender Phil Jagielka has announced he is leaving the club after 12 years.
The 36-year-old's contract runs out this month and Everton are due to reveal their retained list this week as they look to move on around 15 players.
Jagielka has made over 380 appearances for the Goodison Park club and is looking to continue playing. He has been linked with Sheffield United and Stoke City but has still to make a decision on his next move.
He took to Instagram to say: 'It's been hard to confirm my situation for next season as that decision hadn’t been fully made by the club until now, unfortunately my journey at Everton has come to an end after 12 fantastic seasons, I have been lucky enough to play over 380 games and lucky enough to be club captain for six years.
'All I can say is thanks to all the players I’ve played alongside, all the staff that have helped me in their own way, The chairman and of course the amazing fans.
'Wishing everyone associated with this special club the very best for the future!'
Everton are also due to release defender Ashley Williams who has interest from the MLS following his loan at Stoke City.
Leighton Baines has been offered a one-year extension but is also considering the possibility of moving to the US.

One of the best last ditch tacklers English Football has ever seen! A proper footballer, a top lad and a fantastic servant to Everton Football Club, I really can't speak highly enough about Jag's all the best mate.

Phil came through the youth ranks at Sheffield United, played for seven years in the first team before transferring to Everton. It would be fitting to bring him home for a season, Jags is a hero at the Lane also.
