Danny Murphy insists he can continue playing for a few seasons yet and hopes those campaigns are filled with success for Fulham.
The 34-year old club captain has been buoyed by the second half of the season at Craven Cottage and is determined to reproduce those types of performances for next term and beyond.
"There's no reason why I can't go on for a couple more years," Murphy told the club's official website. "Of course, time will tell, but I'm hopeful.
"I'm in a good place and don't feel any different to how I did this time last season. I'm playing games, the Manager is happy, and I'm desperate to keep that going.
"To captain the team to another successful season has been a great honour for me, and looking back on what we have achieved as a team over the past couple of years fills me with a lot of pride. It has been a very satisfying period for me.
"It has been a very pleasing season in many senses," he added. "In a lot of ways, it is a shame that the campaign has come to an end because we were certainly one of the in-form teams. But on the flipside, we finished the season on a high and in confidence.
"That will run on into pre-season and, in turn, help us start next year in a similar vein."
