Jordan Henderson believes Jon Flanagan should quickly renew his contract with the Liverpool Football Club.

The 23-year-old full-back's current deal expires at the end of the season but he is yet to commence talks with the Reds chiefs regarding an extension.

Flanagan returned from a lengthy injury layoff in January and Henderson highlighted his importance to the club by imploring him to put pen to paper as soon as possible.

"It's huge that it gets sorted out", Henderson said.

"I don't think players and people like Flanno grow on trees to be honest.

"You have people like him and Stevie and Carra who have come through the Academy. The fans feel as though they are one of them really which they are.

"His whole family supports Liverpool. He has been a Liverpool supporter since he was a kid and he has had a difficult time for the last two years, but what I have seen him do behind the scenes is incredible really.

"He is a huge player for us, a huge player for the club and the fans as well. It is in everyone's interests for that to be sorted out soon."
