The former Socceroo is expected to confirm this season will be his last at a press conference to be held at Sydney's Star City Casino on Wednesday afternoon.

It comes just five days before Sydney hosts league leader Melbourne in a match to decide the 2009/10 premiers, ensuring the 36-year-old receives an emotional farewell before what will be a big SFS crowd.

A foundation player with the club, Corica has played 103 games in the sky blue, scoring 24 goals including the winner in the inaugural A-League Grand Final in 2005/06.

He won 32 caps for Australian between 1993-2006, finding the back of the net on five occasions.

After stints in England with Leicester, Wolves and Walsall - and two seasons in Japan with Sanfreece - Corica joined Sydney FC for the first season of the A-League.

Corica is likely to take up a job with FC behind the scenes, possibly in a coaching capacity.

Team-mate John Aloisi may join him in retirement, the former Socceroos striker set to make a decision on his future after the finals series.
