Liverpool have confirmed that midfielder James Milner has signed a one-year contract extension.

The veteran, who is now 36, will remain at the club for the 2022-2023 season.

Milner has been with the Reds since signing on a free transfer from Manchester City back in 2015.

The Englishman reportedly agreed to lower his salary to seal the agreement.

Speaking on his deal, Milner took time to complement manager Jurgen Klopp.

He said: I'm very pleased to be staying for another season.

"I have never taken playing for this club for granted and I never will.

"An overriding feeling for me – and a vitally important one in the process – was the belief I can still contribute to the team. The gaffer was clear what he thought and that was a big factor in me extending my contract.

"Ultimately it was a decision I made, with the support of my family, on the basis of the quality of people at the club; teammates first and foremost, along with the manager and coaches. Plus the brilliant training ground staff, who are the heartbeat of AXA. From the medical room, sports science, the kit department, nutrition, the canteen and office staff. All people who make the team what it is.

"As long as I can still play my part, that's not something easy to walk away from."
