Wellington striker Roy Krishna says Phoenix departure rumours 'total rubbish'

A report on soccer website goal.com said Krishna has expressed interest in leaving the A-League for a contract in China or Japan as soon as next month.

The 31-year-old striker described the report as "total rubbish" and that he wants to continue at the Kiwi club beyond this season.

He scored a club-record 34th goal in his 101st appearance when the Phoenix drew 1-1 at home to leaders Perth Glory on Sunday.

Moving ahead of former teammate Paul Ifill's record was a special feeling but he says he has plenty more scoring in him for a club he believes are on the rise.
