Middlesbrough defender Chris Riggott has invited the club to offer him a new deal.

The former Derby ace insists he is happy to extend his stay on Teesside despite attracting interest from other clubs.

Liverpool are believed to be keeping tabs on the central defender and although Riggott is flattered by the reported interest he is more than content with life at The Riverside.

"There's been a bit of speculation and yeah, it is flattering but at the end of the day I'm not interested in going anywhere," said Riggott.

"I've enjoyed my time here massively, I'm enjoying playing and long may it continue.

"I've not heard anything or really thought much about a new contract, that's in the club's hands.

"We'll wait and see if anything happens but it's definitely something I'd like to see happen.

"It's taken a long time to get the base right here but I've enjoyed it and learnt a lot. The players are good lads, the staff are great and it's a great club to be involved in.

"I'm settled and happy here and this is where I see my long-term future."
