Angel Rangel is leaving Swansea City at the end of this season.
Rangel, 35, has spent the last 11 seasons with the club but has barely featured this term.
He hopes to continue his playing career elsewhere.
Club skipper Rangel, whose contract is up this summer, has racked up almost 400 appearances during his time on the Swans' books.
He believes he can play on for another couple of years, but he has already discussed the idea of returning to Wales when he retires as a player with Swans chairman Huw Jenkins.
“For sure I want to work for the club in the future," Rangel said.
“I have had some conversations with Huw Jenkins. He said he feels it's important the club keeps some of the ex-players who have been here during a positive period in the club's history.
“I want to give something back to the club after I finish playing, maybe using my knowledge in some way.
“The base for me in the future will always be Swansea. My wife is Welsh, my kids are Welsh and I consider myself Welsh now."
