Richard Garcia admits he may be forced to look elsewhere to continue his football career.

The 30-year old forward was released by Championship club Hull City at the end of last season and is now looking for a new challenge in a bid to kickstart his career which has been blighted by injuries in recent years.

"I'm widening the search for a club well beyond the UK," said Garcia who is also targeting a spot in the Australia squad for 2014 World Cup qualifiers.

"After 15 years there I think it's time for a new challenge. Where I will go I really don't know at this stage.

"Australia might be a possibility but I haven't talked to anybody or heard anything yet.

"I feel I'm at my peak as a player and have a fair bit to offer a club and also my country.

"I definitely want to force my way back into the Socceroos and help us qualify for the next World Cup in Brazil."
