Ireland captain Robbie Keane says that he has agreed a new deal with LA Galaxy which could keep him stateside for another three years.
Keane told Sky Sports News:
I've just verbally agreed a two-year contract, maybe extending to three.I'm certainly excited about that and playing for the Galaxy in the future. I didn't think I was going to go there and then come back to the Premier League, but I'm enjoying my football there and the club has been very good to me.
He also added that he will be pursuing his coaching badges on home soil come January.
I've still got a good few years left in me. But I'm looking to do my coaching badges in January in Ireland. The FAI has a good structure here to help players if they want to do that. It's something I'm passionate about and need to get into if I want to stay in the game.
Robbie already has two MLS Cups with the Galaxy but they were knocked out of this year's playoffs by Real Salt Lake just last week.
