Kent sends Liverpool message: No more loans

Liverpool winger Ryan Kent says he's "tired of changing cubs each year" as he looks for a permanent move this summer.

The 22-year-old has three years remaining on his Reds contract, but is unlikely to break into Jurgen Klopp's plans for next season.

Kent has enjoyed a successful season on loan spell with Rangers, and admits he hopes it will be his last temporary move from Anfield.

He said: "I want to kick-start my career somewhere now. I am tired of changing clubs each year, I want to settle down somewhere.

"Liverpool have been good to me, but the enjoyment factor of going back there each year and doing well in pre-season and going back out on loan, it is a repetitive cycle.

"I was 19 when I went to Germany [at Freiburg]. I started off at Coventry in my first loan spell, my first experience of football in a men's environment, then stepped up a division with Barnsley.

"I had a successful loan spell there and thoroughly enjoyed it under Paul Heckingbottom, who was a great help.

"I then decided to take it to the next level and go to Germany. That didn't work out so I decided to go to Bristol City.

"Then Steven Gerrard provided this opportunity for me. I wouldn't have got the opportunity to play in the Europa League anywhere else. In my eyes, the season has been a success."
