Liverpool full-back Jon Flanagan signs a new long-term contract at the Merseyside club.

Liverpool full-back Jon Flanagan has officially signed a new long-term contract at his boyhood club.

The 23-year-old has been part of the Merseyside outfit since 2004, but his senior career suffered a setback in 2014 because of injury.

Flanagan recently returned to first-team action following 20 months on the treatment table and has now extended his stay at Anfield.

"It's brilliant - it's something I've always wanted to do since I was a child," Flanagan told the club's official website.

"I think this is my third professional contract with Liverpool now, so I'm really happy.

"I've been through a lot in the last two years with the injury, and maybe a few people thought my future was in doubt, but I've worked hard and this is a bonus at the end of it."

Flanagan made his senior debut in 2011.
