Stoke City midfielder Rory Delap wants to keep playing into his 40s.

Potters manager Tony Pulis has previously hailed the 32-year-old as one of the fittest players he has ever worked with.

Delap told BBC Radio Stoke: "I've always said that I'll keep going until I start making a fool of myself.

"Even if it's in the Conference, as long as I'm still enjoying it, I'll play until I'm 40. Why not 41?"

The Republic of Ireland international added: "I've got a little girl now, and my wife's always saying that it would be nice if she could remember me playing. It's just those little things that make you want to carry on."
