Leigh Leopards winger Josh Charnley said he wants to stay at the club and has apologised for suggesting he could return to his former side Wigan Warriors next season.
The 34-year-old is out of contract at the end of the Super League campaign and currently does not have a deal for 2026.
Charnley, who is second on the Super League all-time try-scoring list, added his 250th and 251st tries in Leigh’s convincing 28-10 victory against Hull KR on Saturday. He is nine behind Ryan Hall, who has 260.
Although his future is not settled, Charnley would like to stay where he is.
“I’d like to finish [my career] off at Leigh but I’m just trying to enjoy the time that I’ve got here because I don’t know if I’ll still be in the squad,” he told Radio Manchester’s Total Sport programme.
“I’ve just got to keep performing, and if something comes at Leigh, I’d grab it with two hands, but I’m just in a bit of limbo mode and I don’t know what my future holds.
“I want to stay in Super League. It’s the best in the country and I want to be up there with the top try-scoring talent, but I want to be number one.
“I’m really enjoying it at Leigh, the way that [owner] Derek [Beaumont] and [head coach] Adrian [Lam] are putting on performances at the club – it’s just a good environment to be in at the moment.”
