Midfielder says he is relishing now being a leader at Liverpool.
Liverpool star James Milner says he is relishing his role as a dressing room leader at the club.
Recalling his experience as a teenager at Leeds United, Milner says he feels his career has come full circle.
Speaking to ESPN, Milner said that he wants to help this Liverpool squad go on to win silverware.
Between his spells at Leeds and Liverpool, Milner won the Premier League title with Manchester City.
He said: “I still feel fit and I’m raring to go but your role changes as time moves on.
“I’ve gone from being that young guy at Leeds to being one of the older guys at Liverpool who helps the young lads out by using what I’ve learned from the different managers and players I’ve played with.
“I’m lucky to have played for as long as I have at some very big clubs and hopefully I can continue to give as much as I can to this football club both on and off the field.”
Milner came close to winning the Champions League with Liverpool earlier this year after Jurgen Klopp’s Reds reached the final of the competition.
He played a starring role in Liverpool’s opening game of the season as they beat West Ham 4-0 at Anfield.
Milner is now 32, having made his debut for Leeds United in the Premier League at just 16-years-old.
