利物浦的爱尔兰籍后卫芬南在亚洲巡回赛后签下3年的合同。

Liverpool's Republic of Ireland defender Steve Finnan has been handed a new three-year contract and is expected to sign the deal on return from the Reds' tour of Asia.

Finnan, 31, was signed from Fulham by former boss Gerard Houllier four years ago but has remained a first choice under the Frenchman's successor Rafael Benitez.

He has gone on to play 182 games for the Anfield club and was part of the teams that won the Champions League in 2005 and FA Cup a year later.
