Emmanuel Pogatetz wants to stay at Middlesbrough Football Club.

It has been reported that the Austrian will quit Boro if they suffer relegation, but he insists nothing would give him more satisfaction then keeping the club in the Premier League before signing a new contract at the Riverside Stadium.

"I badly want to continue my career here and I will be doing everything in my power to help us stay in the Premier League," said Pogatetz.

"The scenario I am hoping for is that not only Middlesbrough stay up but that I can agree an extension to my contract with the club."
