Real Madrid's Hierro: I still have three years in me

Real Madrid defender Fernando Hierro believes he still has "two or three years" of top-level football left in him.

"It is a subject that is not just up to me. At the moment, I have nine months left on my contract with Real Madrid and when it finishes we will see what happens," he said.

Asked if he would consider playing for another club, Hierro responded: "Everything I have left in football, I want to give to Real Madrid."

"I thought about the possibility of playing for my hometown team, Malaga, but now I prefer to live in the present and not to think about what could happen."
