Beijing Guoan striker Joel Griffiths is reluctant to return to parent club Newcastle Jets when his loan expires in December.
"I don't want to go back to Newie anytime quick," Griffiths told the Newcastle Herald.

"And that's with all respect possible for [coach] Branko Culina, the players and the fans."
