Frank Lampard "very excited" by New York City FC move

Frank Lampard is "very excited" about the next chapter of his career as he prepares to make his delayed switch to MLS outfit New York City FC.

Frank Lampard has expressed his excitement about joining up with New York City FC at the end of the current Premier League season.

The 36-year-old was initially expected to move to the new MLS franchise in January of this year having left Chelsea at the end of last season, but instead controversially joined New York affiliate Manchester City for the current campaign.

Lampard insists that he has no regrets at playing one more season in the Premier League, but is looking forward to the next stage of his illustrious career.

"I am very excited. I am very fortunate about this part of my career, coming to City. It was something I never saw coming," the former England international is quoted as saying by PA.

"At 36 I got asked to come to the champions and a club with this pedigree.

"I am delighted that happened as it has done, and I am delighted about the future and the opportunity to go and play in New York - to try and make the best of it individually, to help there and also be part of a new football club in one of the best cities in the world. I am fortunate."

Lampard has made 30 appearances for Manchester City this season, scoring seven goals.
