“That’s what I’ve done. When called upon, I try my best to help the team.
“Would I like to stay? I’ve been at this club 13 years so of course I would but I want to play.
“I think football changes. You have different challenges in your career. This season I haven’t played as much as I would have liked to.
“But I’ve tried to help the team on the pitch and off the pitch.
“I haven’t thrown my toys out of the pram and made a big fuss of it but I’m a football player and I want to play football.
“The more I play, the more I feel I can help the team.”
