Sunderland veteran midfielder Dwight Yorke won't rule out playing on next season.

"This is my 20th season, which is something of a landmark in football," he reflected. "I wouldn't say it gets any easier, but I'm feeling pretty good. I don't think many people thought I'd still be playing at 36, I'm not sure even I did, but I've looked after myself and as long as I'm feeling okay I want to carry on playing.

"Everyone I've spoken to, former players and so on, have said to carry on playing for as long as I can and that's what I intend to do. I don't know if this will be my last season, we'll have to wait and see what happens, but I wouldn't rule out the possibility of playing on next year."
