Lampard's short stay with NYCFC was full of up and downs as the midfielder made 31 appearances scoring 15 goals for the fledgling franchise. 

The journeyman player was selected for the 2015 MLS All-Star game in a controversial appearance and one NYCFC player of the month. He was also inducted into the Ride Of Fame alongside other NYCFC players Andrea Pirlo and David Villa.

Fans state that while they will miss Lampard's goal scoring form found at the end of 2016, that they aren't fully certain why the fledgling midfielder would cut his career short after only two years.. Sources were able to confirm that Lampard is looking at picking up his career in Tax Accounting at a firm in Tampa Florida.
