Stoke City midfielder Michael Tonge would love to sign permanently with Derby County.
Rams' boss Nigel Clough has talked about taking the former Sheffield United man on loan again next season though Tonge admits that his future is very much up in the air.
"I don't know what the future holds for me at the minute. I need to speak to (Stoke manager) Tony Pulis in the summer to see what he has to say," Tonge told the Derby Telegraph.
"But I've really enjoyed my time here at Derby - I really have. It's been fantastic and I'm thankful to the gaffer and everyone else for giving me the chance to come and play here.
"Hopefully, I will get the opportunity to play here again next season."
