Liverpool, England – Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard is primed to stay at Anfield for the long run as the midfielder signed a contract extension with the club on Thursday. The terms of the deal were not disclosed.
Gerrard, 31, has been a one-club man for his entire career since making his Liverpool debut in 1998 at the age of 18.
"I'm very happy," Gerrard told the club's official website. "It's a very proud day for myself and my family."
The news of the deal comes just one day after Gerrard scored the lone goal in a 1-0 win over Manchester City in the first leg of the League Cup semifinal.
"It comes on the back of a fantastic team performance [Wednesday night] when we got the result we were looking for," Gerrard added. "The contract extension coming the day after has been the icing on the cake so it has been a perfect 24 hours."
