I scored Newcastle United wonder goal and want to play again at 39

Former Newcastle United star Papiss Cisse has revealed he is looking for a new club and wants to extend his career.

The striker last played competitive football for Amiens in France but is now keen to get his boots on again. Cisse had a short stint at Macclesfield last term suggesting that he would be open to a move to the lower tiers of English football but he remains fit and fighting, and insists he still has goals to score.

Cisse, who is back in England and searching for a club, told Chronicle Live: "I want to play for two more years. I am 39 but I still have goals left in me.

"I am trying to fix things with a club. Football and scoring goals is the only thing I know in my life. Some people can't understand it, but if you are in football you do. It is my job, my life and it is part of me."

Cisse's plan after his playing days is to build an Academy in Senegal that will be the pride of his country and help find stars for the future in the Premier League. The ex-number 9 was back on Tyneside at the club's We Are United event at the STACK this week and said: "I have started my own Academy in Senegal too which I will do after that.

"The Academy will play in the Senegal league, it has already started but I will continue to build."

The former Bundesliga star joined Newcastle from Freiburg in 2012 and made an instant impact scoring a wonder goal on his Premier League debut against Aston Villa in a 2-1 win. Cisse would go on to score 44 goals for the Magpies including a sizzling strike against Chelsea in a 2-0 win and crucial goals against Fulham and Stoke that helped keep the club up in 2013.

Cisse would leave the club three years later to join Shandong Luneng in the China Super League after a £5.8million deal was pushed through weeks after United were relegated. Cisse said: "I didn't want to leave when I did because I love this club. When I left the club were relegated and I just wanted to fight and go back to the Premier League.

"But it was up to the club and I left but honestly in my heart I never left here."

Cisse enjoyed a warm reception when coming on stage with Newcastle's former stars Rob Lee and Shola Ameobi this week. Speaking about THAT goal against Chelsea, the bending volley that beat Petr Cech, Cisse said: "I always say now this goal is my passport to around the world. I can fly anywhere in this goal! Everywhere I go: China, Turkey, wherever, they always say: 'Are you the guy who scored that goal at Chelsea? ' Yeah, I always say: 'It's a bit of me'.
