Reina Remains Committed

Jose Reina is confident he will be challenging for top honours again with Liverpool.

Although Reina has been linked with an Anfield exit during a disappointing campaign for the Reds, the Spanish goalkeeper remains committed to the new six-year deal he signed only last year.

The 28-year-old, who signed from Villarreal in 2005, won the FA Cup in his first season with Liverpool and helped them reach the following year's Champions League final.

And while he admits it has been a tough season at Anfield, he is determined to battle through the bad times and believes he can help restore the club to its former glories.

"There have been moments when we've not played well, where it's been difficult to stay upbeat and positive," he told the club's official website.

"But this is football - and you have to fight every day to become a greater team.

"When things have gone badly for us, I've tried my best to do my bit to improve the team. There is no point being sad, so I've tried to be positive at all times.

"We are sailing on the same ship and we all want the team to produce the results which we're capable of.

"All I can do from my position is support my team-mates and play my own part.

"I signed a new contract last summer and still have more than five years left to run on it.

"Obviously, I want to be part of a team that has the chance to win the title, win major trophies and to play with the best players, but I expect that to happen here at Liverpool, and for the club to return itself to that level.

"I plan to stick with my contract."
