#3 Giorgio Chiellini (Juventus) - 16 years, one month
Juventus veteran Giorgio Chiellini is still one of the best centre-backs in the world at the age of 36. He joined Juventus in 2004 and was immediately sold on a co-ownership deal to Fiorentina and spent that season on loan there.
Trending
Chiellini was a regular starter for Fiorentina and Juventus paid €4.3 million to bring him back to Turin in the 2005-06 season. He used to shift between left-back and centre-back in his younger days. He has since made the centre-back position his own.
Over the course of 16 years, Chiellini has made 535 appearances for Juventus. He has scored 36 goals and provided 24 assists as well. Chiellini most recently played a starring role in Italy's triumphant run at Euro 2020.
#2 Francesco Magnanelli (Sassuolo) - 16 years, one month
Italian midfielder Francesco Magnanelli made his professional football debut with Gubbio in the 2000-01 season. He played for four different clubs in five years before joining Sassuolo in 2005.
A hard-working midfielder, Magnanelli is a tactically intelligent and technically adept midfielder. He is also a tenacious presence at the heart of midfield and is relentless when it comes to hounding opposition players and winning the ball back.
He is 36-years-old now and has become a peripheral figure of sorts in recent seasons. He made just 10 appearances for Sassuolo in the 2020-21 season and failed to score or provide an assist.
Magnanelli has made 475 appearances for Sassuolo in his 16-year stint and is currently preparing ahead of the 2021-22 season.
#1 Mark Noble (West Ham United) - 17 years, seven months
Mark Noble is lovingly called Mr. West Ham and has now been at the club for 17 years and seven months. He has been a stable presence at the heart of midfield and is a very reliable campaigner even at the age of 34.
Noble has played more games for West Ham United than any other player. He was chosen as the Hammer of the Year trophy on two occasions. He was also voted Hammer of the Decade in 2020.
The Englishman has been quite reliable for the Hammers from the spot and has been their go-to penalty taker for years. Noble has made 544 appearances for West Ham United in his career spanning 17 years and seven months. He has scored 61 goals and provided 63 assists in that time.
