Gillingham goalkeeper Glenn Morris says he’s not ready for retirement as 40-year-old sets sights on first-team spot next season.
Gillingham’s experienced goalkeeper Glenn Morris insists retirement never crossed his mind.
The 40-year-old played 14 games for the Gills last season as back-up for Jake Turner, showing he’s still got plenty to give, and is ready to challenge for that No.1 spot at the club again.
Morris said: “For me, I don’t feel like I am the age I am, I just get on with it. I train hard, I feel I live right and I do everything I can to keep my body in the best order.
“Since I was about 31-32 people have been writing me off every year, asking me when I am going to retire. I have had that for 10 years now, but I don’t think about it, I keep going and as long as I can play on I will.
