Nottingham Forest striker had a season of his life, scoring 18 goals in the Premier League to help direct the forest towards the Champions League football.
The 33-year-old is under a contract on the city ground until 2027, but in the long run he plans to return to his home nation with his English wife, Emma.
“I talked to my wife about this, where we will definitely come back and live in New Zealand and be part of New Zealand for a year, because I want to experience myself back home,” the 33-year-old for the New Zealand News website told the News Website Things.
“If it’s at the same time with football, that would be fantastic.

“I really love both cities,” he said.
“100% I’ll sit on that fence and that’s football at the end of the day. Everything can change.”
