However, the prospect of being third-choice keeper again next season has left him considering his options.
He said: "I am undecided because ideally I want to play football.
"It has been frustrating being third choice. I would have thought I'd have had a look in through injury, but that's not been the case.
"I'm still keeping myself fit and I do believe I can do a job. I want to play for as long as I can, so if I get the opportunity to play I want to grab it with both hands."
Nash earned a place in Stoke's history by playing in the goalless draw with Leicester City which secured Stoke's return to the top flight of English football after a 23-year gap. He played in the final 10 games of that 2007/08 promotion season after replacing Steve Simonsen.
Nash had joined Stoke on loan from Wigan, then signed for Everton before rejoining City in the summer of 2010.
However, he has been behind Begovic and Sorensen in the pecking order, and has only made one first-team appearance in his second spell – a 2-1 Carling Cup win over Shrewsbury at the Britannia Stadium in August 2010.
Nash says he would be sorry to leave Stoke. He added: "Stoke City is a great club and I've had some brilliant times here.
"The staff are fantastic and so are the fans."
Nash and former England defender Jonathan Woodgate are the only players who have yet to sign new contracts offered by Stoke.

“Another Knob classic and I quote "the clowns of over statement". Don't remember the Clowns making to many statements at all last time the Circus was in Stoke.”

“Would be a utter waste of space and time and you name it to try and educate you to what you've oblivious to the whole time you've been here this past long time.
You will never get that you don't speak badly about Stokies on here even or especially if they are leaving.
Just do us all a big favour and go away for good.”
