Steven Gerrard will pull on a Liverpool shirt again in January after agreeing to play for their 'Legends' team in Australia.

Gerrard is currently on a post-season break from his Los Angeles Galaxy commitments after joining the MLS club earlier this year.

The former Liverpool captain has spoken with Anfield manager Jurgen Klopp about training at Melwood while he is back on Merseyside.

And the 35-year-old midfielder will also be in a Liverpool shirt at Sydney's ANZ Stadium on January 7 alongside former team-mates including Jamie Carragher, Dietmar Hamann and John Arne Riise as part of a legends team.

The team will be managed by former Reds boss Gerard Houllier and will play against a team of Australian counterparts.

"It will be great to play with the official Liverpool FC Legends," Gerrard told Liverpool's official website. "The squad looks like it's a great set of lads. It'll be good to get on the pitch with them.
