Shane Long insists that he has no plans to leave West Bromwich Albion this season, despite rumoured interest from around Europe.

West Bromwich Albion striker Shane Long has insisted that he is happy at the club and has no plans to leave.

The Irish international, who scored against England on Wednesday, had been linked with moves to Italy and Germany earlier in the season.

The 26-year-old admits that he will speak with manager Steve Clarke at the beginning of next season, but says that he is happy at The Hawthorns.

"I've very happy [at West Brom]," said Long. "The new manager has come in this year and has built a team that's very competitive in the Premier League.

"There are a few lads up in the air about their contracts and it will interesting to see what happens over the summer. I fully intend to stay, I do like it there, but we will talk, probably in pre-season, about contract situations.

"I have a year and an option, so probably two. I have still got two years left at West Brom and that's what I am focusing on at the moment."

Long is currently with the Ireland squad and will captain the side against Georgia tomorrow.
