BRENDAN Rodgers is thrilled after captain Steven Gerrard agreed a new two-year deal at Liverpool which keeps him at Anfield until 2015.
"I've talked throughout pre-season about wanting to bring other players into the group, but this was one of — if not the — most important signings for us," said Rodgers.
"He's an icon here at the football club — a real iconic figure for players and supporters. Also, importantly, his contribution at this moment in time is very much valued by myself and the staff."
