Liverpool midfielder Steven Gerrard today signed a new contract that will keep him with the Merseyside outfit until 2013, delighting supporters of the club everywhere. Now he'd like to celebrate that fact by captaining the club to some silverware at the end of the season.
The Reds are still in the hunt for both the Premier League and the Champions League, and have recently returned to some mightily impressive form, handing out successive thrashings to Real Madrid, Manchester United and Aston Villa prior to the international break.
Now Gerrard wants to see them turn that positive form into prizes as the business end of the season begins to gather momentum.
"This news has given me a boost and hopefully it will help us in our remaining games," he told Sky Sports News.
"We have got big matches to play, all of them cup finals as we have to win them all to stay in the title race and go all the way to Rome for the Champions League final.
"It is a fantastic feeling to have agreed the deal. This is what I wanted, to see out the rest of my career with Liverpool. I have said all along that as long as the club wanted me then I would stay at Liverpool.
"I have been a fan all my life and it will be fantastic at the end of my career to look back and say I have been with Liverpool all the way through.
"The main priority is to be successful and I want to achieve success at the club I love. If we can win more trophies together then I will be really happy."
Liverpool travel to west London this weekend to face Fulham, the team that defeated Manchester United 2-0 last time out.
