Liverpool stalwart Jamie Carragher has signed a new two-year deal to keep him at the Anfield club until the summer of 2013.
Carragher has established himself as a key member of the Liverpool side and a big fans' favourite since breaking into the team in January 1997.
The former England international enjoyed a testimonial against Everton last month as reward for his services to the club.
Carragher has made 641 appearances for the Reds and he is currently in his 15th season with the Anfield outfit.
News of his new deal will come as a major boost amid the ongoing takeover talk surrounding the Reds and this weekend's Merseyside derby.
Liverpool go into the match in the Premier League relegation zone having suffered a shock home defeat by Blackpool prior to the international break.
