Newcastle United winger Matt Ritchie admits he's keen to return to Portsmouth.

The winger recently signed a new contract but has revealed an ambition to return to boyhood club Portsmouth at the end of his career.

He told the Portsmouth News: "To play for Portsmouth was a dream - and I do feel I've got unfinished business there, for sure.

"I feel I've got a good five to seven years in the locker still and I've just signed a new contract with Newcastle, where I'm really enjoying my time.

"But in my head my next challenge is definitely to play for Portsmouth again - and have an impact.

"I've really got a burning ambition to have some sort of success at Portsmouth. Whether that's in three, four or five years, who knows?

"But certainly for me I want to play - and I want to go back there and make an impact.

"I don't want to come back and do one of those where I'm finished and my legs have gone.

"That's not how I want to do it. I want to come back, offer something and have an impact.

"I want to be part of a success story at Portsmouth, for sure.

"My goal now is to come back to Portsmouth at some stage, have an impact and success. It would be great to take the club back to where it deserves to be.

"'When I left the club it was on a downward spiral, so I would like to play a part in getting the club to the next level and be part of something special in helping them to the Premier League."
