Rory Delap vows to continue playing next season after departing Stoke City.

Rory Delap has revealed that he is not thinking about retirement after departing Stoke City at the end of the season.

The 36-year-old is currently a free agent after leaving the Potters in the summer, but it is understood that a host of Championship clubs have made contact.

"I just want to keep playing, at least another year. There were thoughts, to be honest, while I was still at Stoke that I might possibly have to leave it this season, but going to Barnsley I felt quite comfortable in the games I played in and that gave me a new impetus to play," he told Sky Sports News.

"Unfortunately I got an injury but that has cleared up now and hopefully someone will give me an opportunity to prove that I can play.

"I don't know what level that will be at. I felt good in the Championship and I have always said I don't mind dropping down the leagues. As long as I am playing, I am happy."

Delap had a loan spell with Barnsley at the end of the season.
