Frank Lampard has joined Manchester City on a six-month loan from New York City FC.
The former Chelsea midfielder will be available to Manuel Pellegrini both in the Premier League and Champions League until March 2015 when the MLS season begins. The 36-year-old has signed a full-time contract with Manchester City's American franchise who begin their first season in Major League Soccer next year.
“Joining up with Manchester City is a fantastic opportunity for me to continue to train and play at the top level and make sure I am in top condition for New York City,” Lampard told the club’s official website.
“It has been an amazing few days for me since the unveiling in Brooklyn and everyone connected with both clubs has been fantastic to me. This is a new chapter of my career and I'm really excited about the experience.
“I met Manuel and some of the players in New York and I'm looking forward to getting into training and making a contribution for Manchester City ahead of my move over to New York.”
