Clinton Morrison has revealed he still wants to play professional football, despite starting a new role as a Sky Sports pundit.
The former Republic of Ireland striker played 36 games for his country, scoring nine goals, and has turned out at club level for Crystal Palace, Birmingham, Coventry, Sheffield Wednesday, MK Dons, Brentford and Colchester.
Currently a free agent, Morrison told Soccer AM that he enjoyed his recent stint on Sky Sports News HQ but believes he still has something to offer on the pitch.
"I want to play, I still have the hunger to play football," said Morrison.
"I will do TV work in the meantime and when I finish playing, it is something I would like to do.
"I am also going to start doing my badges and do coaching, but I still have the desire to play football.
"Hartlepool were interested and I was training there and was also playing at Port Vale. Now I am just training at a gym; it’s enjoyable but I want to play football and I still think I have a lot to offer.
"I want to play close to home; I have done a lot of training and I have two young boys now - they are my life and I want to be close to them.
"But if I have to move then I will move because you have to pay the bills."
