The veteran forward is off contract in December from Japanese club Nagoya Grampus, where he's been since 2009.

Kennedy has been linked to a move to Melbourne Heart and says a return to Australia could be on the cards.

"Possibly," Kennedy said. "I hadn't really thought about it too much until maybe a couple of months ago but we'll see what happens."

In 2010 Kennedy was quoted as saying he'd like to play for an A-League club in Melbourne, where his wife is from, before he gets too old.

Aged 31 and a free agent by the time the January transfer window comes around, the timing for a return home couldn't be better.

Kennedy wouldn't reveal if he'd had any approaches but would no doubt be highly sought after if he were to declare his interest.

"I haven't officially said that I would or wouldn't," he said.

"I've read newspapers that you guys have probably written so you probably know more than me."
