New York Red Bulls sporting director Andy Roxburgh has branded Thierry Henry "an icon of the world's game".

The Frenchman has revealed that he has played his last game for the MLS outfit following four years in America.

"Thierry Henry, an icon of the world's game, has been a wonderful player for the New York Red Bulls and a major influence on the development of MLS," Roxburgh said in a statement.

"It has been a privilege to have watched Thierry's illustrious career unfold since he was 17 years old, and it has been a particular joy to watch him, at close quarters, lead the New York Red Bulls over the last two seasons. We sincerely wish him all the best for his future."

Henry has been strongly linked with a return to Arsenal in a coaching capacity.
