Tottenham striker Robbie Keane expects to stay at White Hart Lane for the rest of his career.

The 27-year-old had four clubs in three years before settling at Spurs in 2002 - and he won his first trophy for the club this season when they beat Chelsea in the Carling Cup final.

Keane agreed a new contract with Tottenham last summer to keep the Republic of Ireland international in North London until 2012, and Keane sees his long-term future at the club.

Committed

"I can't see myself going anywhere or playing for anyone else now," Keane told the London Evening Standard. "That is why I signed a long-term contract.

"I am more than happy here and I want to stay here for as long as I can. If I keep doing well and the club want me, then I am happy to stay here for the rest of my career."

Keane has formed an impressive partnership with Dimitar Berbatov, limiting the impact of Jermain Defoe and Darren Bent this season.

Defoe has moved to Portsmouth, and Keane has backed Bent to eventually deliver for head coach Juande Ramos.

Opportunity

"People have to understand that if you are not playing every week, it's very difficult," he added.

"I know from personal experience it's not easy to come in and just do something out of the ordinary. But Darren will be a great player for this club; there is no question about that.

"In football you just need that bit of luck or for someone to get injured to get a chance, and Darren hasn't had that opportunity yet.".
