Toronto FC captain and 151-time United States international Michael Bradley has announced he's retiring upon the conclusion of the Major League Soccer season on Saturday.

Bradley spent the last 10 seasons in Toronto, lifting the MLS Cup as captain in 2017.

"On January 13, 2014, I sat at a press conference and said that I had never been 'more excited, more determined, and more motivated for any challenge in my entire career.' I meant every single word," Bradley said in a statement.

"For the last 10 years, I have spilled my blood, sweat and tears trying to help this club be the best it could be. There were some incredible days - moments that will stay with me for the rest of my life - and some bad ones too. But I never stopped giving everything I had. Thank you to all my teammates, coaches, and everyone inside the club. Thank you to the fans for the unforgettable nights at BMO Field. This city and this club will always be home."

More to come.
