Frank Lampard has finally signed his Major League
Soccer contract to play for New York City FC.
NYCFC confirmed to The Associated Press on Saturday
that this week Lampard signed a contract to start in
July - midway through the new team's first season in
MLS.
The announcement followed the AP detailing repeated
misleading public statements from NYCFC and partner
club Manchester City about Lampard's status.
NYCFC stated last July that Lampard signed a two-year
contract to start in August 2014. Within two weeks, Man
City said the former Chelsea midfielder was returning to
the Premier League on ''loan,'' having previously
categorically ruled out playing for another English club.
But after the Man City stay was extended on Dec. 31
until June, it emerged that Lampard was in fact on a
permanent deal in England. Such was the confusion, the
Premier League this week investigated the contractual
confusion and prompted Man City to eventually confirm
that Lampard was in fact only ever under contract with
the English champion.
