New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady has insisted that he has no plans to retire in the near future after winning his fourth Super Bowl.

The 37-year-old won the third Super Bowl MVP award of his career as he threw four touchdown passes against the vaunted defense of the Seattle Seahawks to guide his side to a 28-24 victory.

"No. I've got a lot of football left," Brady told reporters. "It's hard to play this game and it take a big commitment, a lot of sacrifice.

"For all the players that have played in the past and I've looked up to and admired and a lot of the players now who I look up to and admire - it's a big challenge and it's incredible to experience this feeling once and I've been fortunate to play on four really great teams, so I'm really blessed."

Brady joins Hall of Famers Joe Montana and Terry Bradshaw as the only quarterbacks in NFL history to win four Vince Lombardi trophies.
