Joe Hart has made it clear that he wants to remain with Manchester City for as long as the club needs him.
The England goalkeeper was dropped for Saturday's trip to Hull City which saw summer signing Willy Caballero make his first Premier League appearance in the 4-2 win at the KC Stadium.
Hart has been involved in ongoing contract talks with City recently, which indicates that the Eastlands club want to keep him, and in turn has said he is determined to remain even after being temporarily demoted by Manuel Pellegrini.
"I am happy with what is going on at this club. We are fighting on all fronts," said Hart at the pre-match press conference prior to Tuesday night's Champions League clash with AS Roma.
"While I am welcome here, I am more than happy to stay here and see where that takes me."
Hart admitted that he has always found it a test to push himself to be City's number one and says he plans to continue doing that in order to keep himself as the main gloveman with the Premier League champions.
"It is hard for me to see (any positives)," he added. "I am sure when I retire from football I will see them, but right now I am not going to see them.
"Of course I want to play every game, that is my nature, my professionalism. I am not the manager, just a player. I live by the decisions of the manager.
"We have always had good goalkeepers - David James, Andreas Isaksson, Kasper Schmeichel, (Costel) Pantilimon - it has always been a fight for me to keep my place and that will continue.
"But I have always had high standards that I will keep to, whether there is one goalkeeper or 20. I love the challenge."
