Liverpool fullback Glen Johnson believes Reds fans are enjoying seeing Martin Kelly progress this season.
The 20-year-old has started every match since Kenny Dalglish took over, and Johnson admits it's clear for all to see exactly why.
"Since coming in against Manchester United, he has been very consistent in everything he has done and acted very maturely about the place," he told LFC Weekly.
"He deserves to be where he is at the moment and it can only be for the good of the club if it is producing its own again.
"Fans like to see local boys come through and when they do, it gives everyone a lift."
