West Ham defender James Collins has reiterated his desire to remain with the club until his retirement.
Collins has made 199 appearances for the club across two spells.
And now, as he enters the final year of his contract, the 33-year old has said that he wants to stay with the east-London club for the remainder of his career.
"To think I've been a part of this Club for nearly ten years now is incredible," he says. "It's been a major part of my life – I met my wife here, so my family are from the area, and I'm a very lucky boy to have been at such a good club for so long. And hopefully it can continue.
"I'd love to finish my career here. I'm 33 now, but I felt at the end of last season that I was playing as well as I ever have.
"I've come back for pre-season fit, I'm lucky that I haven't had any really major injuries in my career, and I feel really good.
"I'm going into the last year of my contract, but I believe there is a lot of football left in me at this level and I'd love to stay here for years to come."
