OFFICIAL: Curtis Jones signs new a long-term contract with Liverpool

Liverpool youngster Curtis Jones has signed a new long-term contract, the Premier League champions have announced.

The 19-year-old midfielder, regarded as one of the club's best academy prospects, has made eight first-team appearances this season, scoring two goals.

Both of his strikes came in the FA Cup, including a memorable winner against Everton in January.

Jones told the club's official website: "For me, as everyone knows, it's massive. It's my boyhood club and it's the whole of my family's club as well, so for me it's huge.

"I think the environment and stuff is all positive and keeps me as positive as I can. Of course, we're working with a great manager and around the best team in the world, so for me it was easy and [I'm] extremely proud."
