MATT McKay is unsure if his last season as a Brisbane Roar marquee player will also be the final year of his career.

But if it is, the Roar captain will leave no stone unturned in his bid to lead the Roar to what would be their fourth A-League title in seven years.

“We’re going to play a really good style of football again and hopefully that translates into results – I’m sure it will,” McKay said at yesterday’s season launch at Homebush.

The Roar kick off the season on Friday night at Suncorp Stadium against Melbourne Victory.

In a career that has been filled with milestones, McKay will chalk up another achievement this week when he makes his 200th A-League appearance and 222nd in all competitions for the Roar.

“I’m still as passionate as ever,” the 33-year-old midfielder said.

“I’m really enjoying my football at the moment. When I don’t enjoy it, I won’t play.”

McKay is yet to speak to the club about a contract extension.

But with Tommy Oar and Brett Holman to be elevated to marquee status next season, any new deal keeping McKay at the club will have to be inside the cap and at a reduced wage.

Not that the Socceroo is concerned.

“I’m off contract at the end of the season so it could be the end of my career,” McKay admitted.

“If and when it comes to the time that the club want to speak to me, then they talk to me and I’m comfortable with that.

“I don’t worry about marquee (status).

“We’ve got a great team here and whoever’s marquee is marquee.”

McKay’s only current concern is opening the season with a win on Friday night.

He doesn’t envy Brisbane coach John Aloisi’s task of settling on a starting XI, particularly with the Roar’s options in attack.

“Going forward, we’ve got some depth upfront, haven’t we?,” said an excited McKay as he reflected on an attacking arsenal that includes Brett Holman, Jamie Maclaren, Tommy Oar, Thomas Broich, Brandon Borrello and Dimitri Petratos.

And that’s not to mention the club’s new Spanish winger Arana, who won’t be considered for selection on Friday after only arriving in Brisbane last week.

“It’s really good for us,” McKay said.

“It’s great welcoming new players to the club. You need that evolution.

“The club works extremely hard to get the right people in, not only playing wise, but as people.”
