SUPER striker Ian Wright admits he faces "a really hard decision" over his Turf Moor future after sharing in the Clarets' promotion party.

The 36-year-old goalscorer had originally planned to hang up his boots this summer.

But he hasn't closed the door on the possibility of playing on if he feels fit enough to do himself justice.

And promotion allied to the scenes that greeted Burnley's elevation to Division One as they toured the town last night means he will agonise further over whether or not to extend his Clarets' career.

"I've got a lot of really hard thinking to do in the summer.

"I'm going to have to make a decision but it's really hard, seeing all this," said Wright after thousands of supporters lined the streets and crowded outside Burnley town hall to celebrate promotion with manager Stan Ternent and his players.

And Wright, pictured with team-mates during the tour, was delighted to be involved.

"It's great. They deserve promotion because the fans are great and Stan said that at the start.

"It means so much to the players and it's obvious what it means to the fans and I'm just pleased to be part of that," he said.

The former England striker's move from Celtic to Burnley in February sent shockwaves through the game but proved to be a masterstroke from the Clarets. Wright added: "I have enjoyed it very much. It's been excellent.

"Everyone was saying why had I come down to this division? But Burnley and Stan Ternent were the only reasons.

"Obviously being with my best mate Mitchell Thomas was a big help as well, but coming to Burnley I knew we weren't going to be staying in that division.

"That's what I came here for, a little bit of success and to help them with the promotion push.

"When I got here everyone was more confident that they were going to do it.

"And I'm just pleased that they had that much confidence in me."

The confidence was justified in sending ticket sales through the roof but more importantly in what Wright delivered on the pitch, notably with the goals he scored at critical times when coming off the bench in the Clarets' promotion run-in.

"In the end the goals were quite important ones and I'm really pleased about that.

"I'm just pleased to play a part," he said.

Although taking something of a step into the unknown when he joined the Second Division fray, Wright said he had been impressed with the players at Turf Moor and predicted that with or without him, they will be able to handle playing at a higher level.

"No problems," he insisted.
