Robbie Keane has revealed that he will now look for a new challenge after making the decision to leave Los Angeles Galaxy.

The Irishman scored 104 goals during a glittering career with the MLS side but after six seasons in California, he has decided to look for his "next adventure" as he looks to continue with his playing career.

The 36-year-old told the club's official website: "I can confirm that after five fantastic years I will be leaving the LA Galaxy. It's been a privilege to have played my part in the history of such a great club and I leave with memories that will stay with me forever.

"Winning three MLS Cups, scoring over 100 goals for the club and being named as 2014 MVP are all achievements that I will look back on with pride, it's been an incredible experience, I've truly loved every minute of my time at LA Galaxy.

"However, I believe that now is the right time for a new challenge as I look towards the next chapter of my playing career. I still feel as fit and sharp as ever and I am looking forward to my next adventure. Having now retired from international football I am ready to focus everything I have on one last major challenge in club football and will be taking time out to consider my options before announcing my next move."

News of Keane's exit comes just three days after the club announced that Steven Gerrard would also be ending his time in the United States.
