Everton hero Tim Cahill is eyeing a return to England.

Cahill thinks he could continue playing for another four seasons into his 40th year - and admits a return to England may be on the cards.

"The future's bright," Cahill told the Australian Associated Press.

"I've got another year left on my New York Red Bulls contract. The main feeling for me is every time I'm at a club, I like to be there for a long time.

"To be totally honest, I could have gone back to the Premier League on loan after the World Cup and I decided to stay with Red Bulls for the remainder of the season and still (have) options to go back to the Premier League if it's the right one for me.

"So when you put everything into one, the decision I make will be a methodical one, like I've always made it. It will take a month or so but I think people will be quietly impressed with what I'm trying to do."
