Queens Park Rangers defender Ryan Nelsen has insisted that he has no plans to retire from football in the immediate future.

The 34-year-old, who joined the club from Tottenham Hotspur in the summer, will be a free agent when his contract expires next June.

"I don't know [how long I can carry on]. I'll just keep on going because I feel pretty good," Nelsen told Fulham Chronicle.

"I feel better than I did a few years ago because I've worked really hard on my fitness. I'm so lucky to, at my age, be playing at the highest level. I don't take anything for granted and everything is a bonus.

"I always have done extra bits [of work]. I love keeping fit and working. I enjoy it so I just go at it and hopefully it helps me in the long run."

Nelsen has made two league appearances for the R's this season.
