Nick Powell nearly walked away from football entirely.
The Bradford City forward, 31, has revealed he was ready to call time on his career back in January but is now thankful he changed his mind, according to the BBC.
Powell, who has battled injuries throughout his career, made the decision to keep playing and has found a home at Bradford. Full details of what prompted the turnaround weren't outlined, but the forward's relief at continuing is clear.
His experience adds an intriguing subplot to Bradford's season as they look to build on their promotion push, with Powell now back contributing on the pitch rather than hanging up his boots prematurely.
