Rose: Enjoying Wearside stay

On-loan full-back Danny Rose admits he could seek a permanent move to Sunderland after revealing he is "not prepared to sit on the bench" at Tottenham.

The 22-year-old has been a regular feature in Martin O'Neill's side since joining and started more games for the Black Cats this season than he did in six years at Spurs.

The England Under-21 international is unsure where he will be next season but is in no hurry to return to White Hart Lane and surrender his place in the starting line-up.

"I honestly do not know what will happen next season," Rose said. "I do love Tottenham, they have done a lot for me over the years, I will be forever grateful for the stage I am at now. It's hugely down to them.

"But I am not prepared to go back to sit on the bench and watch other people play football. I've done that enough."

Rose is also hoping to earn an England call-up soon and believes playing regular first-team football is the only way he can achieve that.

"I've got friends progressing into the England team and being in the squads. I'd like to think one day I'll have a shot at doing that," he said. "I'll only get that when I'm playing week-in, week-out, and I'm doing that here. I'm enjoying it here and I love being back up north.

"Nothing has been discussed with the management here or the management there about what's going to happen next season.

"I want to reiterate I will not be looking to sit on somebody else's bench again."
