Aurelio determined to repay faith of Liverpool boss Hodgson
Fabio Aurelio is delighted with his new two-year deal at Liverpool.
Liverpool boss Roy Hodgson has decided to re-sign the Brazilian fullback after he was released by previous manager Rafa Benitez at the end of last season.
Aurelio told Liverpoolfc.tv: "I feel very pleased and proud. It feels like I am signing for the first time - everything has changed so it is like a new beginning for me with new confidence and a new boss.
"Hopefully I can do well this season."
He added: "My aim is to help the team do better than last season. Everything is going really well, so I think we can progress a lot.
"We have made some good additions to the team and we can be very confident."
Aurelio is part of the Liverpool squad that has travelled to Germany for Sunday's pre-season friendly with Borussia Moenchengladbach.
The defender is hopeful of playing some part at Borussia Park having worked hard to keep himself in good condition since the end of last season.
"I have been working for a while by myself since the end of my contract and trying to keep fit in pre-season, so I think I am in good condition," he said.
"Hopefully I can have some involvement in the game against Moenchengladbach."
