(CNN) -- Not content with claiming every major club honor with Chelsea and over a century of caps for England -- now Frank Lampard is relishing a new challenge in MLS with New York City FC. "Obviously players tend to come here later in their careers, but for me personally I come here with a big determination to make an imprint on life here," he told CNN. "I made this move because I wanted to come here and do well." The 36-year-old Lampard had a host of offers to prolong his career in the English Premier League or in Europe, but has opted for the Big Apple and the new franchise which starts in the 2015 season.
