Andy O'Brien admits he is keen to extend his stay in MLS with the Vancouver Whitecaps.
The 35-year old Republic of Ireland defender is out of contract after three seasons with the Canadian club but is hopeful of signing on for at least one more campaign.
O'Brien, who joined from Leeds United in 2012, made a total of 27 appearances as the Whitecaps bowed out in the first week of 2014 MLS play-offs and is now looking to further his contribution in 2015.
"I'm disappointed that the season is over," O'Brien told reporters.
"I said before we went out of the playoffs that we wanted to continue as long as possible because the atmosphere is great in terms of wanting to come to work.
"Physically I feel great, and mentally I feel great. I think by virtue of the fact that I'm looking forward to next year speaks volumes to how I feel."
The English-born O'Brien, who counts Bradford City, Newcastle United, Portsmouth and Bolton as his other former clubs, says he is eager to open talks with Whitecaps officials regarding his contract.
"I've yet to speak with the club with regard to my contract situation," O'Brien added.
"It's not all about money. I think it's about being wanted, and I get as much buzz [from that] as I do for the dollars.
"I've been very blessed to have had the career that I've had. At this stage of my career, it's not necessarily about the money.
"It's about being made to feel welcome, and certainly since day one that I've been here with the supporters, with the boys, with the manager, I've felt that. It remains to be seen what happens."
