Gerrard set to announce end of Liverpool career

LIVERPOOL, England (AP) - Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard is set to announce he will leave the club at the end of the season.

British newspaper reports said the announcement from the 35-year-old midfielder, who has spent his entire career at Liverpool, would come on Friday.

There was no denial from Liverpool, and former teammate Jamie Carragher appeared to confirm the news.

Carragher wrote on Twitter: "Sad day for LFC & English football with the Gerrard news, I think it's the right decision all things considered."

With his contract expiring at the end of the season, Gerrard has been free to talk to foreign clubs since New Year's Day.

Gerrard, who scored two penalties in Thursday's 2-2 draw with Leicester, has won the Champions League, FA Cup and League Cup but never the Premier League.
