Friedel not ready to call time

28 Jul 2009 - 09:54:24

Veteran Aston Villa goalkeeper Brad Friedel has revealed that he has no plans to call time on career just yet.

The 38-year-old USA international moved to Villa Park a year ago from Blackburn Rovers and enjoyed a fine first season with Martin O'Neill's side.

"I haven't set a target for retirement, until I can't play any more or someone tells me I can't play any more," Friedel commented.

"I'll keep myself as fit as I can and if selected I'll keep going.

"I only take a week off of doing nothing (in the summer). I stay close with the strengthening and fitness coaches.

"But realistically you need a mental as well as a physical break from pounding your body."

Friedel spent nearly eight years with Rovers, having previously played in England with Liverpool and in Turkey with Galatasaray.
