NEW YORK, N.Y. – Marcos Senna has finally decided to hang up his boots.

The New York Cosmos star, who will turn 39-years-old this July, has extended his contract through the Fall season, set to retire by year’s end.

“I’ve been blessed to have had the career I’ve had and fortunate to play with some truly exceptional players and teams,” Senna said in a team statement. “Right now, my body feels great and I want to make sure that I’m able to retire while I’m playing well and on my own terms.

“The move to New York and joining the Cosmos has been fantastic for my family and we’ve experienced some truly unforgettable memories here in the U.S.”

Senna was the leading force behind the Cosmos 2013 Fall Championship season and their Soccer Bowl victory, netting the game winning goal with an unforgettable free kick against the Atlanta Silverbacks. Injuries derailed him in the 2014 season, but he has come back strong in 2015, earning a goal in seven starts for the club. Senna has made a total of 43 appearances for the club, earning 11 goals and three assists.

“From the day that he signed with us, Marcos has been a tremendous presence,” head coach Giovanni Savarese said. “His leadership has helped the team and he’s played at an incredibly high level for us. We’ve been honored to have Marcos with us the past two years and he will be a part of the Cosmos family forever.”

His run with the Cosmos continues this weekend, with a chance at collecting some silverware. The New York Cosmos take on Jacksonville at Hofstra on the 13th. A victory assures them the NASL Spring Championship trophy — and a spot in the 2015 playoff race.
