JAKARTA - Curtis Jones will use the jersey number 17 at Liverpool next season. This number was previously synonymous with iconic names such as Steven Gerrard and Steve McManaman.
This young talent from the Reds previously wore the number 48 jersey. Recently he agreed to a contract extension as a gift from Jurgen Klopp for the rapid development shown by the midfielder.
The day after signing his new contract, Jones celebrated by scoring his debut goal in the English Premier League. At that time, July 5, Liverpool beat Aston Villa at Anfield.
Launching Antara, Tuesday, July 21, Jones is a local Liverpool player and joined since he was in the U-9 age group. This season he rose through the ranks of the Premier League Cup and FA Cup.
Jones even made a record as the youngest player ever to wear the captain's armband for Liverpool's first team. He led the Reds past Shrewsbury Town in the FA Cup fourth round at the age of 19 years and five days.
Liverpool's jersey number 17 in the past has often ended up being the backbone of the team. Gerrard, who used it before he moved to number 8, even became team captain.
Meanwhile, McManaman also wore the number 17 jersey before changing to number 7. Although not as successful as Gerrard, Macca's good looks caught the attention of Spanish giants Real Madrid.
Liverpool's number 17 jersey was last used by center back Ragnar Klavan, who left the club for Cagliari in 2018.
