Liverpool goalkeeper Jose Reina has signed a new six-year contract at Anfield. The 27-year-old has been in outstanding form this season and one of the club’s most consistent performers since his arrival from Villarreal in 2005.
The new agreement, which replaces Reina’s previous contract, commits the Spaniard to the club until 2016 and could extend his spell on Merseyside to 11 years.
Reina said: “I’m delighted to sign a new contract. It’s probably the best news of my life that I’ll be here for the next six years. Me and my family are really happy here.
“To play for Liverpool is very special. I’ve been here for five years and now I will be here for six more and it’s very exciting.
“It’s very important that my family love it here as well, as family life is just as important as my career.”
Reina’s deal is further good news for the club after last night’s Europa League quarter-final victory over Benfica at Anfield.
It also follows new long-term contracts for Fernando Torres, Steven Gerrard, Dirk Kuyt, Daniel Agger and Yossi Benayoun in the past 12 months.
