Frank Lampard has finally signed his Major League Soccer contract to play for New York City FC next season. NYCFC confirmed to the Associated Press on Saturday that earlier this week Lampard signed a two-year contract to start in July – midway through the new team’s first season in MLS. NYCFC stated last July that Lampard signed a two-year contract to start with the team in August 2014. Within two weeks, Manchester City said the former Chelsea midfielder was returning to the Premier League on “loan”, despite having previously categorically ruled out playing for another English club.
