Carli Lloyd is aiming to sign off her illustrious playing career by helping USA Women claim gold at next summer’s Tokyo Olympics.
The 38-year-old has scored a total of 123 international goals – making her USA Women’s fourth-highest goalscorer ever – and is widely regarded as one of the greatest female players of all time.
Lloyd, also a two-time World Cup winner has been part of the USA squads that won gold at Beijing 2008 and London 2012 before the reigning Olympic champions suffered a surprise quarter-final defeat to Sweden at Rio 2016.
Lloyd would love nothing better than to be selected in next year’s Olympic squad before bowing out with the ultimate prize once again.
Speaking exclusively to The Women’s Football Show, Lloyd said: “I’ve won awards, medals and championships with my team-mates which is amazing, but what I cherish most is the journey and to see where I have come from and where I am at now.
“But there comes a point where you do want to step into the next chapter and my husband and I would like to have kids.
