Neville not thinking about retirement

by Setanta Staff , 23 August 2011

Everton skipper Phil Neville has revealed he has no intention of hanging up his boots just yet after signing a new deal at the club.


Neville signed a new contract at the weekend which will see him still at the club at the age of 36, but he has no intention of stopping just yet and wants a further deal after the new one comes to an end.

He told Sky sports: "I'm looking at three or four years because I see players around at the moment, and I feel some of the best players in the league are some of the most experienced ones who are 34 or 35.

"I don't see why, if I look after myself and keep myself fit, I can't just keep playing."

Upon signing the contract, he told the club's website: "I feel really proud and this club has never let me down.

"It's shown faith in me again and for the next two years I'm going to give my all for this football club,

"That's what I've done for the last six years and that's what I'll continue to do."

"I love playing for Everton. I love the spirit in the club, I love the togetherness, and that's going to continue."
