Past playersSimon Mignolet

The Belgian was a key figure in the Reds dressing room by virtue of his dedication, professionalism and work ethic throughout his time at the club.

He arrived at Anfield in the summer of 2013 from Sunderland and enjoyed an impressive debut season between the sticks under Brendan Rodgers.

Mignolet saved a last-minute penalty to preserve victory on his first competitive home appearance to kick off an exhilarating season that saw Liverpool narrowly miss out on the Premier League title.

The stopper successfully battled to regain his status as first-choice after a brief period out of the team in 2014-15 and was almost ever-present following the appointment of Jürgen Klopp as manager the following season.

It was during the new boss' first term that Liverpool were beaten finalists in both the League Cup and Europa League, with Mignolet appearing in each showpiece.

Renewed competition for a place in the starting XI came when Loris Karius was signed in 2016, though again it was the Belgium international who finished the season in possession of the shirt as the Reds got back into the Premier League top four and secured Champions League qualification.

He then started 22 games in the first half of 2017-18 before serving as back-up to Karius en route to the first of consecutive Champions League finals for the club.

The signing of Alisson Becker in the summer of 2018 bolstered the goalkeeping department again and it was Mignolet who remained with Liverpool as a top-class deputy to the Brazilian.

Mignolet was widely praised by Klopp, the coaching staff and teammates for his professional approach throughout the season to help ensure the highest level of performance in training and matches.

His diligence was rewarded with a medal when the Reds beat Tottenham Hotspur in Madrid to lift the European Cup in June 2019, and he subsequently left to join Club Brugge in search of more game time.
