Japan international midfielder Junichi Inamoto is considering a return to the J-League after spending eight years in Europe.

The former Gamba Osaka star has enjoyed spells in England, Turkey and Germany before signing for Rennes in France.

The 30 year-old has however, struggled for playing time in Ligue One and has played just one full game this season.

He has also not even been on the bench in the last three games.

With interest from Kawasaki Frontale and Omiya Ardija, he could head back to Japan to stake his claim for a place in the 2010 World Cup squad.

"I'm leaning toward a move back to Japan," Inamoto said according to Kyodo News.

"I know what I want to do," he added.
