Heurelho Gomes tells Watford: I think I can play one more year

Heurelho Gomes has confirmed Watford want him to play on next season.

The Brazilian goalkeeper is coming off contract at the end of next month.

And he told Voetbalzone: "If the season resumes, I have to talk to the club.

"They probably want me to renew my contract. Last season I was 99 percent sure I would quit, but then they said they wanted to continue with me for at least another year. Right now, I don't know what's going to happen next season.

"I haven't played much this season, but I felt fit during the training sessions and during the games in which I did play.

"I'm 39 years old, but I might be able to go on for a year. My reflexes are no longer what they once were, but I really never want to quit football. You just have to realise that you can't go on forever.

"I think I can play at a good level for one more year. Then I will have to realise that it is time to quit."
