Kennedy's Nagoya became 2010 Japanese champions after Saturday's 1-0 win at Shonan Bellmare gave them an unassailable 10-point lead at the summit with three games to play.

The 28-year-old Australian international has played a major role in Nagoya's success this season, contributing 16 goals to lead the J.League scoring charts.

And while Wodonga-born Kennedy knows he has achieved plenty during his time Japan and says he can not wait to one day return to Australia, he is not ready to leave the Land of the Rising Sun just yet.

"My wife is from Melbourne so I'd like to get back there and not be too old to play in the A-League," Kennedy told Albury-Wodonga's The Border Mail.

"I watch a lot of it on the internet. Some teams are progressing quite well. I'm still here (Nagoya) for next season. I guess as long as things are going well I'm not in any rush.

"I've got two little girls and for them and my wife to be settled in and be happy is very important."

The former Bundesliga striker added he was enjoying playing for Nagoya with a bunch of teammates he has plenty of time for.

"It's the best group of guys I've been with," he said. "Looking over my professional career I couldn't have asked for more so far for the season.

"I've been here a year and a half now and it's fast and attacking football. For me being a striker you can't ask for anything more."

Kennedy added Nagoya's title success had not sunk in just yet, after Saturday's hard-fought win at Shonan.

"It was a bit of a strange game, we didn't play our best," he said. "It's a funny sort of feeling. I don't think it's sunk in yet.

"I guess all the pressure is off now and we can enjoy the last three games."

Kennedy also offered his support to Australia's 2022 World Cup bid, saying the nation was more than capable of successfully hosting such a tournament.

"Making the past two World Cups are big steps," Kennedy said. "It's really put Australia on the map.

"We've shown we can host big events. It would be great for the country."
