The 22-year-old made his competitive debut for the Reds in 2008, but found first-team football hard to come by and moved to Leicester City on loan for the second half of the 2009-10 campaign.<\/p>\nFollowing his return, the young midfielder went on to make 20 appearances in all competitions last season.<\/p>\n
However, he looks set to find his first-team chances limited this season following the arrivals of Charlie Adam and Jordan Henderson, coupled with the return of Alberto Aquilani, who had been on loan at Juventus.<\/p>\n
But Spearing has welcomed the competition for places in the squad, and has now outlined what he hopes to achieve during his career.<\/p>\n
“They’ve Carragher and Gerrard have both helped me so much in my career and I want to go on and win trophies like they have,” he said.<\/p>\n
“I want to look back on my career and say I achieved something like that and won the Champions League.”<\/p>\n
The youngster’s views come ahead of the Reds’ friendly against Galatasaray in Turkey, where they famously won the Champions League final against AC Milan in 2005.<\/p>\n
“I haven’t ever really spoken to Stevie or Carra much about that final,” Spearing said.<\/p>\n
“But the fact they were there and played such a massive part in one of the club’s greatest ever nights is amazing.”<\/p>\n
He added: “It will be the first time I’ve played in Turkey but I’ve heard all about the atmosphere at games there and I’m looking forward to experiencing that.<\/p>\n
“Playing in Istanbul will be a special occasion, especially for those who were there on that night back in 2005.<\/p>\n
“Fans in Turkey love their football and are always massively behind their side. It will be a great test for us.”<\/p>\n
