Life's too short! Fulham's Damien Duff considering moving Stateside
DAMIEN DUFF is mulling over a move to the United States when his Fulham contract expires at the end of the season.
The former Blackburn, Chelsea and Newcastle star will bring his five-year spell at Craven Cottage to an end this summer after his season was cut short by a knee injury.
The 35-year-old has admitted he is assessing his options, but fancies moving abroad.
"I'm up at the end of the season," Duff told the Irish Times.
"The club haven't spoken to me and I haven't spoken to the club but we don't need to speak: I'll be leaving Fulham.
"I've had a great time here but that's football.
I think life's too short just to be stuck in the rat race, if that's the right phrase
"I've had a few whispers from here and there but I'm just trying to get this [injury] right first.
"I've looked at the Australia or America thing for a bit, it would be a different way of life, a different league; I think life's too short just to be stuck in the rat race, if that's the right phrase, over here so I'd maybe like to taste something new before I go back home."
Duff also revealed his international colleague Robbie Keane has suggested a move to the MLS.
He added: "We've had a bit of banter all right.
"He obviously loves it and every six months I see he's signed a new deal so he'll be there for a good while yet."
