The 37-year-old player spoke on this topic and stated, “Chances are it probably will be the last time. I’ve just done my first day back training today, I’m seeing how things go. I had a little run around in preparation and lead-up to a big summer, hopefully. My knees are a bit sore, but I actually hit pretty well, considering I’ve had two weeks off.”
