Liverpool Goalie Kelleher Signs New Long-term Contract – LitKenya

Liverpool goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher has signed a new long-term contract at Anfield.

The 22-year-old, Republic of Ireland international has signed a five-year deal which will him at the club until 2026.

“I am happy to get it over the line and finally done; it was in the pipeline for a few months with negotiations and stuff, so I am delighted to get it done.

“For me, it was a positive moment to commit my future to the club for the next few years. It’s such a big club and it’s an honour to be a part of it, so when I got the chance to sign for a few more years I was obviously delighted. I just want to keep my progress going at the club, really.”

Kelleher made five first-team appearances and featured in both the Premier League and Champions League last season.

He also won his first cap for Republic of Ireland earlier this month, coming on as a second-half substitute against Hungary in Budapest.

The promising goalkeeper has promised to challenge Alisson Becker for the number one shirt.

“It was a big year for me in terms of playing the first-team games this year and more important games; being thrown into the Champions League and Premier League games was big for my development and being able to handle that,” he added.

“It gave me a lot of confidence to try to push on, to try to keep pushing Ali because I can play at that kind of level as well and do well. I am looking forward, try to keep pushing him and we’ll see what happens.”
