The 36-year-old has had a star-studded career that has spanned 20 years at the top level.
Milner started his career at Leeds United before representing Aston Villa, Newcastle United, and Manchester City then signing for Liverpool in 2015 on a free transfer.

At club level, Milner has won every major honour that the game has to offer and helped Liverpool to their first Premier League title in 30 years.
With his charity, James Milner Foundation, the 36-year-old has raised thousands to ‘promote healthy recreation for young people in the UK. The charity focuses on the development, improvement and provision of opportunities in sports, in particular football, rugby and cricket’.
