Fulham midfielder Jimmy Bullard insists he is content at Craven Cottage, despite rumours of a possible return to Wigan Athletic having surfaced.
The 29-year-old, whose time with the Cottagers has been blighted by a career-threatening knee injury, has confirmed that he has opened talks over a new contract with Fulham.
He told the Wigan Observer: "It's nice to hear that Wigan would want me back, it shows I'm well thought of.
"But it's the first I've heard of it. Wigan is a great club and they have got a great manager, but my gaffer hasn't said anything to me about it.
"I got a call from a mate when I was on our tour of Korea saying there was something in the papers about me coming back to Wigan, but I know nothing about it.
"I'm in talks at the moment about a new contract. I've got two years to run on my deal and we just thought it was the right time to try and sit down and get a new one sorted.
"Hopefully it will all be sorted out soon."
