Simon Mignolet sticks with Liverpool

Goalkeeper Simon Mignolet has committed his future to Liverpool by signing a contract extension.

“I’m very pleased I can be at Anfield and a part of Liverpool for a long future. I’m happy to commit my future to LFC,” he said.

“I know signing a new contract comes with new responsibility. I’m getting older as well and coming into the years where people would say those are the years a ‘keeper is at his best.

“I’m the sort of character that wants to be a leader, and wants to speak in the dressing room.

“I’ll try to work hard together with the goalkeeping coach and staff here, who are behind me and have given their confidence with a new contract. I would like to thank them for that – but you can’t really do that with words, you have to do that with performances on the pitch.”
