West Ham defender James Collins says retirement is the furthest thing from his mind.

The Hammers centre-back may be 33, but he ended 2016/17 in superb form, inspiring Slaven Bilic's side to a run of one defeat and four clean sheets in their final seven matches.

“I got back in the team towards the end of the season and it went well," he confirmed to whufc.com. “We picked up some points and managed to get safe and I was pleased with my own form.

“I feel better now than I ever have, to be honest. I'm 33 and feel like I can play until… who knows? I played with Teddy Sheringham until he was 40!

“I am playing well at the minute, I feel fit, I look after myself and try and keep up with the young lads as much as I can."
