Gareth McAuley hoping for West Bromwich Albion stay

West Bromwich Albion defender Gareth McAuley confirms that he is in contract negotiations with the club.

Gareth McAuley has revealed that he would like to remain a West Bromwich Albion player next season.

The 36-year-old is due to become a free agent in the summer when his contract expires.

However, the centre-back has confirmed that talks are underway regarding a fresh deal.

"The discussions are ongoing and hopefully I'll be playing football at West Brom next season," he told reporters.

"I don't expect to be playing forever, but I intend to give myself the best opportunity to try and do just that. I feel strong. If I didn't, I wouldn't be sitting down talking to the club."

The Northern Ireland international joined the Baggies from Ipswich Town in 2011.
