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.

"If I don't [get a contract] I will be back in Newcastle in December but with less passion for the cause," he said.
