West Ham striker Craig Bellamy admits he may have four more years left in the game.

The 29 year-old said: "I'll get to 33 and see what my body tells me but it has taken a battering. I'm the sort of player who invites challenges and that's why I've had so many injuries.

"There have been some real lows and it really takes it out of you. Not just the injuries, but the surgeries and the rehabs are really tough times.

"The pain every day is tough to take.

"But I'm not worried that I've lost any pace. As soon as I could do any strenuous running I was working on my speed because it's such a large part of my game.

"I'll be just the same as I was."
