The 35-year-old joined Major League Soccer side LA Galaxy in the summer after a club career that saw his play over 700 games for the Reds.
Gerrard arrived in the United States halfway through the season, and while he enjoyed initial success, marking his debut with a goal for the first of two strikes in 14 games, his campaign eventually ended in disappointment.
The Galaxy were knocked out of MLS the play-offs by Seattle Sounders last week, and Gerrard has revealed he is keen to hang up his boots with a piece of silverware in his grasp.
"It could be my last season as a footballer. I certainly don't want to feel like I'm feeling right now come next year," Gerrard said on Galaxy's website.
"I'd love to go out on a high. It's a long season and I only came here for the last four months, but I'll certainly be better for the experience next year."
Gerrard, who is due back in England next week before returning to Los Angeles for pre-season training in January, admitted the experience of playing in the US was a learning curve.
"Going on the road, playing on turf, playing at altitude, playing in humidity, those are the hurdles that I've had to face over the last three months that I wasn't aware of.
"Every away game has a different challenge.
"At home, we've got no problems because we're very strong and we play well. We'll always win more than we lose."
