Robertson Signs New Five-Year Contract For Liverpool
Liverpool left back Andy Robertson has signed a new five-year contract to remain at the club until the summer of 2026.
The 27-year-old Scotland international joined Liverpool from Hull City in the summer of 2017 and has made 177 appearances in all competitions for Jurgen Klopp’s side, winning the Premier League, UEFA Champions League, UEFA Super Cup and FIFA Club World Cup in his time at the club.
Robertson is the latest Liverpool player to commit his long-term future to the club in recent times joining the likes of Virgil Van Dijk, Fabinho, Alisson Becker and Trent Alexander-Arnold.
Robertson has missed the start of this season due to an ankle injury suffered in pre-season but was back on the bench against Burnley over the weekend.
"Obviously when the negotiations started and it looked as if my future was going to be here longer term than what it was, then I think it’s no secret that I’m happy at this club,” Robertson told Liverpool’s official website.
"I want to stay at this club for as long as possible and to extend my stay, it’s always a happy time for me, for my family. We’re settled here, we love everything about this football club and I’m glad that the journey is continuing.”
"When you sign for a massive club, I still remember the day as if it was yesterday when I signed here and obviously you have ambitions to become a regular player for Liverpool, to win trophies for this club, to do everything else but the way it’s gone has been excellent.
"But since the very start of my career I’ve always been one to look forward: that’s in the past, that’s something that I can sit down with the people who want to listen to me when I’ve hung up my boots and retired and I can tell them all the stories that we’ve already made.
"But I’m certainly one, and I know a lot of people in this training ground just now are people to look forward and people [who want] to create more history, more stories. Hopefully people get bored of me when I’ve retired and I can sit down for hours and hours and tell them about all the stories!
"They’re certainly building up but I want to make more and obviously hopefully starting with this season. We want to achieve more, we want to bring hopefully more trophies, more happiness to this club.
"The only way of doing that is by working hard and having the same application that we have done since day one."
