Gary Cahill is not done with top level football just yet and insists there is plenty still left in the tank.
The defender played his final game for Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on Sunday before his seven-year stay comes to an end this summer.

Gary Cahill replaced David Luiz in Chelsea’s final home game of the season where he was given a send off by his team-mates and fans
Cahill came on in the final minute of the 3-0 win against Watford, replacing David Luiz, but vowed there is more to come from him.
“I’m fit as a fiddle and ready to go. I’ve used the time I’ve not been playing wisely,” he told talkSPORT’s Jim White after the game.
“This chapter will close and another will open for me without a doubt, so I have a few more years left to play.”

Chelsea’s win guaranteed them a place in the Champions League next season and they currently sit in third place, one point clear of Tottenham, ahead of the final day of the season when they travel to Leicester.
However, Cahill has made just two substitute appearances in the Premier League this year, while he has played four Europa League matches.

Cahill, who arrived from Bolton for £7m in 2012, was thrown up into the air by team-mates and also received a rousing reception from the home fans on his lap of honour
There were no sour grapes from the 33-year-old, though.
“It has been a pleasure to play for the club and I’d like to thank the club for giving me the opportunity to play at the highest level,” he added.
“The memories I’ve made from this football club will live with me forever – they’re some of the best memories I’m going to have from football.”
And with a place in the Europa League final, a trophy he won in 2013, final still very much a reality for Chelsea, Cahill believes his team-mates deserve to end on a high.
“The effort the lads have put in during the last couple of months, they deserve to get their hands on some silverware, so plenty of work still to be done.”
