A former Liverpool midfielder once touted as the next Steven Gerrard now finds himself without a club after being let go by Shrewsbury Town.

Jordan Rossiter's career has been marred by injuries and setbacks since being the Reds' 'next big thing'.

Rossiter, 28, made a splash for the club in September 2014 when he scored a stunning goal against Middlesbrough in a League Cup tie on his debut at just 17.



His only appearance under the German was a 13-minute cameo off the bench in a forgettable Europa League tie against Sion.

A troublesome hamstring issue, coupled with stiff competition in Liverpool's midfield, led to Rossiter's transfer to Rangers.

Yet, despite Rossiter's Liverpool career potentially being an example of that, the former midfielder regards his label as the Kop's 'next Gerrard' from a contemplative standpoint.

"No, I never saw it like that," he said to The Athletic in 2020, addressing whether the Gerrard comparisons burdened him.

"I was just thinking, 'Next Steven Gerrard?

If I have 10 per cent of the career Steven Gerrard has had, then I will have had a great career.'"
