Newcastle United star Jonjo Shelvey has revealed that he has no regrets about leaving Liverpool. Shelvey joined the Reds in 2010 from Charlton Athletic and went on to play 69 times for the club.
However after failing to establish himself within the first team on a regular basis, the player left the Merseyside club to join Swansea in 2013.
The 25-year-old then moved to the Magpies during the January transfer window in 2016 and he is hoping to play against his former club Liverpool on Sunday when the Magpies clash against them in a Premier League encounter.
He has now admitted that he does not regret leaving Anfield and said, “It was a good, historic club. It was good to play for. I had a few managers in my time there.
“I had the choice whether to leave or stay. I was at the age where I wanted to play more and more games, and I ended up moving to Swansea from Liverpool.
“It was a massive club, and in hindsight it was a big call to move from Liverpool, but I felt it was the right one at the time. I feel like it paid off as I ended up playing a lot more games.”
At the Magpies, Shelvey has established himself as a key player. He however does have a reputation for getting angry easily and this is something that he needs to rectify.
