“If my legs are still going and my wife is happy to stay, then I will keep pushing,” he told BBC Radio Leeds.
“If she is feeling homesick - because right now we haven’t been home for two years and by the end of next season it will be three years.
"So it is going to be tough getting through this season together. If we had of gotten home for a break, she might have been happy to do a few more years.
