Hull City midfielder Jay-Jay Okocha is hoping to be handed a new contract to return to the Premier League next season.
The 34-year-old former Bolton Wanderers playmaker only featured 19 times in his first season with the Tigers, but hopes that boss Phil Brown will hand him the chance to impress next term.
He told the Hull Daily Mail: "I would love to still be part of this club because there's a lot still to do.
"I was thinking about maybe retiring at the end of this season, but football has been my life.
"From here, I've always said that it will be retirement, but if I could get another year here then that would be great.
"It's not up to me, it's up to the manager and the chairman, but if they want me at the club I would gladly stay."
