Jonjo Shelvey admits he wished he had given his Liverpool career another two years to flourish before walking out of Anfield aged just 21.
Shelvey joined the Reds as an 18-year-old in the summer of 2010 but despite making 69 appearances over his next three seasons at the club grew frustrated at not being given consistent first-team runs in the side.
The Newcastle United midfielder had broken into the England set-up at this point but in search for more first-team football he left Merseyside for then fellow Premier League outfit Swansea City.
