Wales and Gloucester number eight Gareth Delve says offers from Cardiff Blues and Melbourne Rebels are amongst his options at the end of the season.
"It's a huge decision for me, there are some great opportunities," Delve, 27, told BBC Wales' Scrum V rugby show.
"Cardiff Blues are my hometown club so there's obviously a draw there and that's what my family is pushing.
"The Rebels option is exciting, but it is the other end of the world and may not tie in with other ambitions."
Nine-cap Delve has been out of favour with national coach Warren Gatland, but on Monday he was called into Wales' RBS Six Nations squad for Saturday's Test with Ireland at Croke Park.
The player's absence was believed to be because he plays his rugby outside the Welsh regional structure and because he chose to undertake a full pre-season training last summer rather than joining the Wales tour to North America.
If we thought he was the man for the job we would pick him no matter where he played

The ball-carrying 6ft 3in, 18st 2lb back-rower is a valuable addition to the squad, especially with number eight Ryan Jones suffering with a calf injury.
Should the Wales skipper be ruled out youngster Sam Warburton is also an option to step in against Ireland, while there is speculation that Andy Powell could receive a recall after his drink-driving golf-buggy disgrace.
Wales defence coach Shaun Edwards said of Delve: "He's a Welsh player playing first-grade rugby for Gloucester who has found a bit of form.
"He's been involved before for Wales in our Grand Slam year [2008], but unfortunately he got a bad cruciate injury on tour in South Africa and hasn't featured since.
"If we thought he was the man for the job we would pick him no matter where he played, but there's no doubt it does go in your favour if you play in Wales and there's a 50-50 choice."
Sadly that's put some distance between me and the Welsh set up... it's something I'd love to break down

Delve told Scrum V on Sunday that he was desperate for an international recall and was waiting for that "phone call... out of the blue" that duly arrived on Monday.
"I spoke to [Wales] in the first week of May after having had a torrid end to the season with Gloucester," said the Gloucester joint-captain.
"My emotions were battered and I was thinking of picking myself up and building to challenge on all fronts in the next season.
"I'd sat down with the Gloucester coaches and physios and decided that the best thing was to get in my first full pre-season for a few years.
"It was a huge decision not to tour bur I think it proved to be the right one.
"Sadly that's put some distance between me and the Welsh set-up. It's something I'd love to break down and get back in the mix.
"There've been very few discussions with Wales since - obviously the guys are very busy... some feedback would be nice to know what I have to do to get back.
"I would say that I'm suffering because I'm playing outside Wales. I understand the issues of player availability and missing training, but I am playing at a high level that would help me step in.
"I just hope for that phone call will come along out of the blue.
"I certainly feel capable of coming in and doing a job but it's out of my hands, all I can do is keep doing my best for Gloucester.
"It's something I'll never give up on. My main motivation through all the rehab has been to get to a level where I'm playing better than I was before."
Delve has never played his professional rugby in Wales, having left Rumney High School in Cardiff at the age of 16 to take a college rugby scholarship in Bristol.
He signed for Bath in 2001 and won his first cap in 2006, but his career for club and country has been disrupted by a series of serious injuries.
The pattern continued as he enjoyed a successful spell with club and country after joining Gloucester in 2007, only to be hit by a serious knee injury in the summer of 2008.
Delve has not completely ruled out staying at Gloucester next season
Delve says he "would relish" staying at Kingsholm, but his contract runs out this summer and he would have to "weigh up whether that is an option or not".
While he has plenty of options on the table, a return to Cardiff or a move to join Danny Cipriani in the new Melbourne team for the expanded Super 15 competition seem to be the main options.
Blues coach Dai Young said: "He [Delve] has got other options and it's up to him to make a decision.
"It's always a difficult decision for any player and I'm sure he'll make that when he feels that the time is right."
Delve told Scrum V: "I'm weighing things up, it's a huge decision for me.
"I'm 27 now and hope the next two years will be the best of my career.
"There are some huge decisions, great headaches and great opportunities.
"Going back over the [Severn] Bridge is certainly one of them that I'm considering strongly and that's what my family are pushing.
It would obviously be a huge decision to move to the other side of the world, but I grew up watching the Super 14 tournament

"I have to weigh it up with my partner and decide what's best.
"It's always been a lure to go back to Wales to play in front of friends and family.
"There are a couple of other fantastic offers in terms of where they could take me and what benefit I could get from them for the next few years.
"It would obviously be a huge decision to move to the other side of the world, but I grew up watching the Super 14 tournament.
"The chance to measure myself against the best players in the world week-in, week-out would excite me.
"I have to weigh up what's best for me as a person and player over the next few years."
