That’s according to Aden Flint himself, who is now a free agent after his time with Championship outfit Stoke City was not extended. Flint played 21 times for Wednesday this season in what was a second loan spell at S6.

Speaking to The Star, Flint made clear that he was relaxed about his future, putting any conversation with any prospective clubs to one side in the final weeks of the campaign so as to pile all his concentration into Wednesday’s play-off campaign.
“I’ve not thought too much about it,” Flint said. “I’ve been fully committed to the cause here at Wednesday.
“I knew I’d been released from Stoke a few weeks ago which is fine, that’s football and I get it.

“I’ve not thought too much about myself. I’m going to have a bit of time away, I’ll speak to my agent and go from there.”
At his opening media engagement since signing on loan towards the end of January, Flint had said he felt he had unfinished business at the club having had his short initial stint cut short before watching them go on to suffer relegation from the Championship.
And while he grinned while calling promotion ‘business finished’, when asked whether he would be receptive to an approach from Wednesday, Flint reacted glowingly.

“It’s a great group of lads, great staff with a great manager. The fans are unbelievable. I’d love to come back, of course I would, but we’ll see what happens.”
