Robinson signs news Reds deal

Liverpool defender Jack Robinson has signed a new long-term contract with the club having earned his place in the first-team squad over the last six months.

The 18-year-old reserve-team left-back was drafted in by Kenny Dalglish towards the end of last season, having made just one appearance under Rafael Benitez at the end of the 2009/10 campaign.

He played twice last April, against Arsenal and Manchester City, and has remained part of Dalglish’s squad ever since.
