Jamie Carragher rules out Liverpool departure

Jamie Carragher has revealed that he has no intention of leaving Liverpool during the summer.

The veteran defender is no longer an automatic starter for the Reds, having slipped down the pecking order behind Martin Skrtel and Daniel Agger.

However, the 34-year-old has insisted that he is happy to feature for his boyhood club when required.

"I know I am not first choice but if people get knocks or suspensions I am there to come in and help and do as well as I can. I would never think about moving on in the summer, no, no," Carragher told the Daily Telegraph.

Carragher has been named in the Liverpool starting lineup for this afternoon's FA Cup semi-final against Merseyside rivals Everton.
