England midfielder Frank Lampard has announced his retirement from international football.
The 36-year-old former Chelsea man - currently on loan at Manchester City from newly formed MLS franchise New York City - scored 29 goals in 106 appearances for his country after making his debut in 1999.
Lampard featured at two European Championships and three World Cups with England, including the most recent tournament in Brazil, where Roy Hodgson's men were eliminated at the group stage without winning a match.
Team-mate Steven Gerrard had already confirmed his retirement, but Lampard took longer to decide on his international future.
