“I’ve told the lads that I don’t plan on it now. I’m happy enough just focusing on the club. I have big decisions to make with work and where I’ll be this year, in general,”

“As I’ve said before, I do take things one year at a time. I’ve been pretty terrible at planning things beyond that timeframe.
