Central Coast Mariners young gun Tomas Rogic suggests he will stay in the A-League after failing to secure a move to English Championship club Reading.

The 19-year old attacking midfielder was unable to obtain a UK work permit to make his move to join the Royals at the Madejski Stadium but he has indicated that he will most likely not continue to pursue a shift abroad at this stage.

"The standard of the A-League is getting a lot better and I think it's at a great level right now," Rogic said.

"I think I still have a lot of work to do and a lot of things to improve on to become a better player so staying here in Australia I don't think is a bad idea.

"For myself, I'm just focusing on training and playing and come season's end, I think I'll make a decision for my future.

"When I signed for the club I didn't expect the last few months to turn out how they have but it's been great and I'm very grateful to have the opportunity to play."
