Fulham captain Tom Cairney wants to remain at the club for a few more years.

The 33-year-old has put pen to paper on a one-year extension to his contract this season.

However, Cairney admits that he is picturing himself playing at Craven Cottage until his mid to late 30s.

Per The Standard, he said: “I can picture myself going longer [than 2025]. In my head, that's how I feel. I feel good, feel fit. I'm 33 years young.

“Footballers play a lot longer now. I remember when 35 used to be the be all and end all. But now footballers look after themselves so well their whole career. Look at Thiago Silva — he's 39 and one of Chelsea's best players.

“Injury-free, I'll stay at Fulham longer."

Added if he can retire as a Cottager, Cairney replied: “Yeah. I did say during lockdown I want to play football until my legs fall off, because staying at home for three months was difficult.

“I feel like you're a long time retired, so I'll play football for as long as I can. But if we're talking dream scenarios: to stay at Fulham until the end."
