Gerrard pledges future to Reds

STEVEN GERRARD has insisted that he will “definitely” sign a new contract with Liverpool.

The England star and his advisors have been in preliminary discussions with the Anfield club for some time over a new deal as his current contract runs out in the summer of 2005.

Now, in a week when boss Gerard Houllier and his side have once again come under intense scrutiny after the disappointing defeat at Charlton, this is one piece of good news for the Liverpool chief.
