Liam Rosenior is chasing a new deal at Hull City as he hopes to remain with the club for the 'rest of my career'.
The 30-year-old defender arrived at the KC Stadium as a free agent in October 2010.
Since then, he has played his part in a successful promotion push in the Championship and consolidation in the Premier League.
Rosenior has now made over 150 appearances for Hull and claims he would welcome the opportunity to extend his current contract – which is due to expire at the end of the season.
He told the Hull Daily Mail: "When I first came I was on a three-month contract and now I'm in my fifth year. I've grown to love the club and I've got a fantastic relationship with everyone here.
"I was the Allams' first signing so everything that's happened from the takeover I'm proud to say I've been part of it.
"It's been incredible to see the club grow and I'd love to stay a part of that.
"There will be discussions of where I stand and hopefully I'll be able to make a decision from there. Ideally, I'd love to stay here for the rest of my career if that was possible."
Rosenior has found his Premier League game time limited this term, with Ahmed Elmohamady favoured as right wing-back, but he believes there is still a role for him under Steve Bruce.
He added: "I don't want to be viewed as a squad player. I feel as though I've got a lot more value than that.
"I played more than 30 games last season and not many squad players play that many times.
"I want to play regular football here. It's rare in football you find a club where you're this happy.
"I feel as though the fans respect me, the manager does and it feels as though we're still going in the right direction.
"Sometimes you've got to be patient and that's where I am now. But when my chance comes, I'll play to the standards I expect of myself and hopefully the rest will take care of itself.
"All I can do is make sure I'm professional about things so when the chance comes my fitness is right to step straight in."
