Former Chelsea defender Duberry soldiers on at Oxford

League Two Oxford United and former Chelsea defender Michael Duberry says this season may not be his last. The 37-year old centre-back has a contract until the end of the campaign and is refusing to rule out another year on the pitch.

He told BBC Radio Oxford: "I always remember a few old pros telling me to play as long as you can, because once you stop you are always itching to carry on playing."

"As long as I'm fit and healthy and my body is holding up and I'm still representing myself I will carry on playing," he added.

"After the injury I had I'm taking it each game at a time and every game is a blessing."
