QPR skipper Barton fancies move abroad

QPR skipper Joey Barton wants to play as long as he can - and also fancies a move abroad.

Barton says he'd welcome offers from foreign lands.

He said: "I think I'll play until I'm about 38 or 40 because my game is not based on pace or power, it's all about knowledge of football and manipulating the ball.

"So I'm confident I can play for a long time.

"If I decide to coach or manage in the future, it would be quite prudent to have experienced a different culture or philosophy of football.

"Or even just experiencing how the approach changes when you manage players from different backgrounds or cultures.

"If the opportunity arose to play abroad in the future I'd definitely consider it."
