Spearing ready to impress

Last updated : 18 July 2008 By Al Campbell
The reserve team midfielder, who captained Liverpool to FA Youth Cup success in 2007, has featured in the Reds' opening two pre-season friendlies. Spearing is hoping these are the first of many first team appearances.

"Obviously against any team and at any time I get a game for the first-team it is a great experience for me," he told the club's official website.

"I have to keep working hard, keep doing my best in every training session and show the boss what I can offer and what I'm made of.

"Hopefully I can get a little bit longer against Wisla Krakow on Saturday but we'll have to wait and see what happens and what the boss says."
