Spearing has formed an impressive partnership with Lucas Levia over the past few games and has earned the praise of fellow midfielder Meireles.
"Jay is a fantastic player and a fantastic teammate," our number 4 told the club's official website.
"He has worked hard in training, he deserves his chance and he is doing well.
"He is a good lad off the pitch as well and I am pleased for him.
"I think it's good seeing some of the young lads getting a chance and for the future of the club it's important.
"I watch the reserves on LFC TV and there is a lot of quality."
