Ex-Super Eagles star speaks on future after surviving career-threatening injury

Ex-Super Eagles star Obafemi Martins is still passionate about the round leather game and insists he’s not ready to quit now.

The 35-year-old Martins has been without a club after ending his contract with Chinese Super League campaigners Shanghai Shenhua.

Martins has been searching for a new club since his recovery from a torn hamstring injury in May.

“I love football and I’m still passionate about it, so retirement thoughts haven’t crossed my mind,” Martins said.

“I cannot rush into the next club because at this stage I can make important decisions for myself and my body.

Martins netted 18 goals for Nigeria after scoring 32 times as well as providing nine assists in 59 games for Shanghai Shenhua.
