Sydney FC captain Alex Brosque is set to sign a one-year contract extension with the club after vowing to continue his career on a season-by-season basis.

Suggestions the Sky Blues' forward would hang up his boots at the end of the season have been squashed as Brosque aims to continue playing despite enduring an injury-hampered season with the club.

Limited to just 13 games and having to undergo surgery at the end of the season, the 32-year-old feared his playing days would be ended by forces beyond his control. After playing his last game of the campaign in late February, Brosque only returned to running on Wednesday. He remains some way off being able to take part in full training sessions and ruled out a shock return for Sydney's Asian Champions League round of 16 match in a month's time, but received some welcome medical news.

Doctors confirmed his horror run of hamstring injuries this season was not due to his age or fitness as they gave him the green light to continue playing A-League football.
