Ben Foster admits Watford saved his career.

Former West Brom goalkeeper Foster has admitted he was ready to hang up his gloves before his move to Watford last summer "breathed new life" into his career.

He said: "This season has been a breath of fresh air as I needed a move in the summer. No disrespect to West Brom, they're probably my team, but I'd got stagnant.

"I was there for seven years and it probably just got a bit stale. You probably get stuck in your ways, doing the same things and it almost gets a little bit boring.

"If you'd asked me a couple of years ago when do you think you'll retire, I'd have said as soon as possible.

"I can't wait just want to go and ride my bike, but this season has opened my eyes and I've enjoyed it so much. So long as my knees hold out and my body stays fit, I'll keep going as long as possible."
