He won the Premier League title twice with City, and reached the FA Cup and League Cup finals with Villa.

But his time at Everton was plagued by injuries, and he left the club when his contract expired in the summer.

Announcing his retirement on Instagram, Bradford-born Delph said he had "nothing but happiness and gratitude for what this beautiful game has given me."

He added: "Massive shout out to my family, friends, players and staff from the amazing clubs I have been fortunate enough to represent as well as the support I have had from the fans."
