 Coyne is keen to improve his international prospects |
Burnley goalkeeper Danny Coyne could leave the club in the summer to boost his international career with Wales. Coyne, 33, won the last of his 14 caps against San Marino in March - and on returning to Burnley lost his place to Brian Jensen.
"I am out of contract in the summer and in football you never know what is going to happen. I will keep an open mind and see," Coyne told BBC Sport.
"I need first-team football, hopefully here but if not then somewhere else."
Since Jensen replaced Coyne in goal the Clarets have lost one of seven games.

"It has been a frustrating season," added Coyne.
"I started the campaign with a knee injury but got back to full fitness and was back in the team when I went away with Wales in March.
"When I came back, the manager had decided to change a few things around and rested all of the players who had been away with their countries.
"The team was on a bad run so he needed to change something. And it worked, which was good for the team but unfortunate for me."
Coyne, who has previously played for Tranmere, Grimsby and Leicester, fears he is unlikely to play for the Clarets first-team again.
"We are at Sunderland on Friday and at home to Coventry on the final day of the season and it would be great to play again before the season is out, but that is up to the gaffer," said the goalkeeper.
"Every player in my position wants to play for their country and when you have been there you want to play again and again.
"But Wales boss John Toshack is going to want a goalkeeper to be playing for his club before he picks him for his country. Saturday club matches are your bread and butter games."
On Friday, Coyne will come face-to-face with his rival for the Wales number one jersey, Sunderland's Darren Ward.
And, while Ward will be looking to take another step towards the Premiership, both keepers may also have in mind a summer clash with the Czech Republic and their undoubted number one keeper.
"There are some big games coming up and the Czech Republic at the Millennium Stadium would be a good one to be involved with," said Coyne.
"Petr Cech is the best in the world at the moment and he has the whole package for a goalkeeper. He just makes it look so easy.
"I hope I will be playing it that game and I hope to get another chance with Burnley before the season is out - but that is down to the gaffer."
