Everton forward Naismith has eye on life after playing

Everton forward Steven Naismith is already contemplating his post-football career options.

The Scottish forward is working on his first coaching license to see if he may fancy a move towards management when he eventually decides to call time on his playing career.

"I'm doing my B-Licence at the moment, but I wouldn't say I have a massive draw that I want to be a coach or a manager," Naismith told the Liverpool Echo.

"I'm doing it more to get the experience to see if I do like it and if it's something I'd like to do.

But, the 28-year-old insists playing football remains his priority for now.

He added: "I'm not really sure what I want to do when I finish playing, I'm just enjoying playing, and David Weir always said to me: 'Enjoy it as long as you can' and 'play as long as you can because you can't get that feeling back".
