Career Overview

Lampard began at West Ham United, where his father Frank Sr. had been a long-serving player. He emerged as a regular in the late 1990s before transferring to Chelsea in 2001 for £11 million. Across thirteen seasons at Stamford Bridge he became the club's all-time leading goalscorer with 211 goals, surpassing Bobby Tambling. His tally remains the highest scored by a midfielder in Premier League history for many years.

His final season in English football was at Manchester City in 2014–15, after which he moved to New York City FC in MLS. He retired from playing in 2017 and moved into coaching.

Career record

Frank Lampard, born 1978-06-20, in London, England, listed at 184 cm, a midfielder. The club record below covers 4 senior teams between 1999 and 2016.

Club	Seasons	Seasons recorded

The record spans 18 years, from 1999 to 2016, across 3 clubs, with 2 moves between them. The longest single spell was at England, 15 recorded seasons from 1999 to 2014, and the average club spell runs to 4.0 seasons.

International football accounts for a further 15 seasons with England, running alongside the club years rather than after them — which is why the dates in the table overlap.

Spells are listed by the seasons in which the player appears in the provider’s squad records. Where two clubs overlap in the same year the player moved mid-season, and both are shown rather than one being chosen.

Honours

13 titles are recorded, alongside 19 runner-up or other placed finishes. Both lists come from the same squad records as the career table above, so a competition the player was registered for but did not play in can still appear.
