Liverpool vice-captain James Milner on Monday extended his contract with Liverpool for one more year, until next summer, the club announced.

"I’m very pleased to be staying for another season. I have never taken playing for this club for granted and I never will," said the veteran midfielder, according to Liverpoolfc.com.

"Now this is signed, I’m already looking forward to getting back with everyone, refocusing and going again. It’s a brilliant dressing room to be part of."
