LIVERPOOL DEFENDER Andre Wisdom has cemented his emergence as a member of the first-team squad by signing a new long-term contract, the Premier League club announced today.
The 19-year-old made his debut in the Europa League earlier this season and an injury to left-back Jose Enrique has enabled him to make 14 appearances so far in the current campaign.
Liverpool did not reveal the length of the contract.

“It was an easy decision to make — as soon as they offered it to me, I grabbed the opportunity with both hands because it’s a great club and I just want to continue to play for Liverpool,” Wisdom said.
“I am happy with the progress I’ve made so far and hopefully I can progress more in the second half of the season and continue to keep playing.”
In extending his commitment to the club, Wisdom joins Raheem Sterling, Suso, Luis Suarez, Martin Skrtel, Daniel Agger, Brad Jones and Jonjo Shelvey, who have all agreed new deals since the end of last season.
“He’s a great young player, shown a fantastic improvement, broken into the first team and made a huge contribution and, rightly so, we’ve provided him with a new contract and a long-term one.”
