Sports superstar David Beckham is considering a return to soccer a year after announcing his retirement from the game.

The former England, Manchester United and L.A. Galaxy star walked away from the game in May, 2013, and now he's thinking about a comeback.

In new documentary David Beckham: Into The Unknown, he says, "Now I go to watch a basketball game and, when you are watching athletes play at the top of their game, for me, it gives me that itch again and I want to be back in the game then and I start thinking to myself, 'Could I play again? Could I go back? Could I come out of retirement and start playing again?"'

Beckham has previously spoken about retirement, branding it "the toughest decision" he has ever had to make.

The icon is currently in the process of developing a new soccer franchise in Miami, Florida.
