Jamie Carragher Looking Assurance Of Starting Role Before Signing New Deal


Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher wants to make sure his spot in the Rafa Benitez’ starting XI is secure before he inks a new deal with his hometown team, according to the Daily Mail.

The 32-year-old centre-back, who has performed well while filling in at right back for the injured Glen Johnson, has one year left on his current deal.

Benitez spoke of his centre-back’s contract situation, saying: “'I told Carra that he's been fit and doing well this season so we will see.”

“It is not the same for players who are over 30 than a player who is 25.”

The England international has made 424 appearances for Liverpool since 1996, winning the Champions League in 2004-05.

Benitez has stressed patience with Carragher, saying: “We will wait and Carra is fine with the situation. I think he prefers it.”
