Kevin Phillips claims to have been rejuvenated at Crystal Palace and is ready to put his retirement plans on hold.
Experience
On joining Ian Holloway's promotion-chasing Palace ranks, Phillips added: "I would like to think the manager brought me here for my experience but also for occasions like last Friday (against Watford), where I can come on, make an impact and score goals.
"I am experienced enough to know what I need to do and when to do it. I think you can see from the first two games that the manager can certainly rely on me.
"When I weighed up this situation, it made sense to link up with my old manager and a team that are challenging for promotion.
"I am going to get used and, at this stage of my career, I couldn't ask for any more. Hopefully we will get promoted and I may even get another chance in the Premier League."
