The 35-year-old, who returned to his long-time home at the Phillips Stadion last summer following three seasons in England with Blackburn, was devastated by the news - and by the lack of a proper farewell to the club's fans. "It was painful yesterday," he told De Telegraaf. "The worst thing is that I have played my last game for PSV - I love this club, and have enjoyed playing for them for more than 10 years - and now I do not even have the chance for a proper goodbye. Yes, I feel quite a lot of pain. "I had not spoken with people from the club. I knew it was not certain that they would extend my contract when it expired, but I though I could still go on playing for PSV for another year. "I am not ready for this - it is too early for a farewell." Ooijer, who played for PSV for eight years before joining Rovers, will now focus his attentions on the World Cup - for which he is part of Holland's initial squad - before deciding on his future. "I must now focus entirely on the Dutch national team," he said. "I would prefer another year playing football. After the World Cup, I will just see who is interested in me. "PSV have also informed me that I can remain involved with the club. That means a lot to me. It is my club. "
