Liverpool's Wijnaldum plans to finish career in Netherlands

Liverpool midfielder Georginio Wijnaldum says he wants to finish his career in the Netherlands, but doesn't plan on hanging up his boots for at least another nine years.

Wijnaldum rose through the youth ranks at Sparta Rotterdam before moving to Feyenoord, where he spent three years in the academy before graduating to the senior squad.

The 29-year-old racked up over 100 appearances for Feyenoord and played a key role during the team's run to KNVB Cup glory in 2008.
