Smicer To Extend Contract

Czech Republic International Vladimir Smicer is to extend his stay at Anfield.

Smicer who had one year left on his current deal will now sign for a further 2 years with Liverpool after talks with Reds Boss Gerard Houllier.

Smicer is currently in Switzerland with the rest of the Liverpool Squad training.

Club spokesman Ian Cotton told the club's official website: "A new contract, which will tie Vladi to the club for the next three years, has been agreed with the player and he will sign that when he returns from the club's training camp at the end of the week."
