Herbie Kane has extended his loan spell with Doncaster for the rest of the season and signed a new deal at Liverpool.

The 20-year-old midfielder has starred for Rovers, scoring six goals in his last eight games.

Kane, who joined Liverpool five years ago, was due to be out of contract at the end of the season.

He told liverpoolfc.com: "It is massive, coming from a massive club like Liverpool, so I'm happy.

"I was excited to get it done. It took a lot of hard work to get this, but thankfully it is done. Hopefully I can carry on working hard and get to where I want to be."

Kane is hoping his fine form at Doncaster will catch the attention of Jurgen Klopp and is aiming to break into the Liverpool set-up next season.

He said of his time at Rovers: "I've enjoyed every minute of it. I'm just trying to do as well as I can for myself and help the team, but also trying to improve.

"Hopefully people at Liverpool notice that I'm doing well, and hopefully when I come back to Liverpool it will impact it. I'm hoping I come back in the summer and impress the manager in pre-season."
