現年44歲嘅保方，日前宣佈與帕爾馬再度續約，合約將至2024年夏天，屆時呢位意大利傳奇門將將年滿46歲。

去年夏天，保方從祖雲達斯以自由轉會方式轉投帕爾馬，今季作為球隊隊長一共上陣23場，雖然年紀絕對不輕，但相反其經驗多到不得了，本季為球隊合計作出85次撲救及20次解圍，其中包括多次救出12碼。

雖然保方只係作為門將，加上帕爾馬而家只係意乙球隊，所以體能要求相對無咁高，但能夠以44歲之齡繼續征戰職業聯賽絕對唔簡單。而保方自己亦揚言身體保持得很好，仍然可以繼續交出好表現。

當然，保方呢個年齡其實已經接近退役，但佢卻沒有考慮過退役之後做咩，因為佢而家仍然專注作為一名職業球員，所以諗退役嘅事情就等佢真係退役先算，而家對於佢黎講仲未係時候。

不過，上季仍然位於意甲嘅帕爾馬，今季征戰意乙表現卻令人失望，目前20隊入面排名第14位，目前距離有機會降班嘅區域只有6分之差，稍一不慎隨時再度降班。
