Everton defender Phil Jagielka has announced his departure from the club.
Club captain Jagielka spent 12 years at Goodison Park, but was restricted to just seven appearances this season.
The 36-year-old former England international said on Instagram: "It's been hard to confirm my situation for next season as that decision hadn't been fully made by the club until now, unfortunately my journey at Everton has come to an end after 12 fantastic seasons."
"I hav been lucky enough to play over 380 games and lucky enough to be club captain for 6 years.
"All I can say is thanks to all the players I've played along side, all the staff that have helped me in their own way, the Chairman and of course the amazing fans. Wishing everyone associated with this special club the very best for the future!!"
Everton signed Jagielka from Sheffield United for £4million in 2007 and he made over 300 Premier League appearances for the club.
Jagielka won 40 caps for England after making his senior debut in a friendly against Trinidad and Tobago in 2008.
