Liverpool have confirmed that midfielder Kevin Stewart has signed a new contract with the club to commit his future to the Anfield outfit.
The 22-year-old made his debut for the Reds in the FA Cup third round clash against Exeter City on 8th January 2016, which ended in a 2-2 draw.
Stewart, a Tottenham Hotspur youth product, also made his Premier League debut earlier this month in the 6-0 rout of Aston Villa on 14th February.
The 22-year-old spent loan spells with Cheltenham Town, Burton Albion and Swindon Town, before impressing Jurgen Klopp in training, who handed the midfielder his debut.
Stewart had made five appearances for the Reds this season, before an ankle injury picked up in training curtailed his involvement.
