Steven Gerrard’s Liverpool contract extended by two more years

Steven Gerrard’s signs a two year deal at the Anfield

Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard, who has only one year left on his current contract with the club, has agreed to a two-year extension.

The deal is expected to be signed before the start of Liverpool’s pre-season tour of the Far East and Australia this week.

Reds’ manager Brendan Rodgers has always been determined to remove any doubts about the 33-year-old midfielder’s future with the club. By signing this deal, Gerrard will most probably retire at the Anfield, thereby having spent his entire career in just one club just like Jamie Carragher, who ended his career at Liverpool recently.

Rodgers had earlier said: “With each day that goes on you see the real importance he still has to the club. He still looks so fit, strong and you can see his influence on the team. As a captain he’s been phenomenal.

“He is a unique player. I can’t say that without Steven Gerrard we would be all right because I don’t believe we would. This is a top, top player who gives so much quality but also enthusiasm.”
