Darel Russell is ready to walk away from Pompey to fulfil his thirst for trophies.

The midfielder’s one-month contract expires after Notts County’s visit to Fratton Park tomorrow night.

He has been offered a fresh deal but will wait until Wednesday to decide.

The 32-year-old won the League One title with Norwich in 2009/10 and claimed it again while on loan with Charlton last season.

But his failure to not match those successes with the Blues – who on Saturday lost 3-1 at home to rock bottom Hartlepool – has left him questioning his future.

It appears he could be the latest player to exit the club.

Russell said: ‘I will make a decision after Tuesday’s game but wherever I am, I want to be successful.

‘For me football is about winning. I probably learned that playing for Norwich when we won the league.

‘Everybody wants to win a game, that is part and parcel.

‘You are in training and you want to win.
