“It’s a great honour to be the vice captain of such a big club,” he told Sky Sports.
"It's an amazing club and it's a great honour to be given the extra responsibility by the gaffer."
When asked about the possibility of one day taking over from Stevden Gerrard as club captain, he added:
"I'm not thinking that far ahead because a lot can change in football very quickly. I'm just looking to support Stevie wherever I can and in a few years time we'll see where we're at."
