Dudek signs new Reds deal

Liverpool keeper Jerzy Dudek has given Gerard Houllier a boost by agreeing a new five-year deal.

The Poland international, signed from Feyenoord last season, has committed himself to Anfield until 2007, which represents a two-year extension to his previous contract.

Houllier told the Liverpool Echo: “It’s true Jerzy is signing a new contract. There was no doubt he wanted to extend his career here.”
