Liverpool defender Nat Phillips has outlined his desire to remain at Anfield and fight for a regular first team place after being thrust into the spotlight this season.
The 24-year-old effectively transitioned from fifth choice to first choice centre back following a series of injuries which ravaged the Reds back line, though a strong end to the campaign helped his side secure Champions League football.
Phillips has been lavished with praise by both manager Jurgen Klopp and the Liverpool fan base, after playing a starring role in a momentum shift which produced five clean sheets from the final 10 matches of the domestic season.
