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.

"I might get that passion back, but at present my heart just isn't there.

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