Billy Sharp has scored 295 goals across his career to date [Getty Images] Veteran striker Billy Sharp has said he would like to play on next season after Doncaster Rovers announced he would be leaving at the end of the campaign. The 40-year-old helped Rovers win promotion to League One last season after returning to the club for a third spell. He has scored a total of 295 senior goals in a career that began with hometown club Sheffield United in 2004.
"I can play on another year but I'm not quite sure what I'm going to do," he told BBC Radio Sheffield. "I'm open to opportunities whether that's at another club playing or what. I'm gonna see.
"I've only ever been a free agent once and I ended up going to LA Galaxy. "I'm quite looking forward to sitting on my sofa again having a shandy and a few nuts and my missus saying 'you better sign for someone"'. I'm going to see what opportunities I can get and it's exciting.
"I love football and I love scoring goals. I'm going to leave it wide open. " Sharp scored his first goal in the Football League during a loan spell with Rushden & Diamonds in the fourth tier in February 2005.
