About Kewell
One of the most exciting talents in the Premier League, 24 year-old Kewell signed for Liverpool in July 2003. He has the ability to play in a number of positions but looks at his best when on the Left Wing. Gerrard Houlier had to fight off competition from the likes of Arsenal, Manchester United and Barcelona to capture the Australian international, signing him in the end for a fee of around £5 million.

Kewell had been offered higher wages and Champions League football elsewhere, but having been a Liverpool supporter as a boy, Kewell chose to come to Anfield, saying: "You can have all the money in the world but you want to look back on your career and see the medals in the pot. You want to look back and say 'Yes, I was in that final.'

"There was just something special about Liverpool and that is why I accepted their offer. I was offered a lot more money to go to different clubs. Money was not the main factor. The main factor was my family and obviously the coach."

Sydney born Harry was plucked from the New South Wales Soccer Academy by Leeds United and given his debut way back in the 1995/96 season as a 17-year-old by Howard Wilkinson, and it was on the left wing that Kewell first made his name, deputising for Lee Sharpe with a series of breathtaking performances. But it wasn't just pace and trickery that caught the eye, Kewell also showed a devastating eye for goal and was used as Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink's strike partner for periods of his first season.

Kewell's first team opportunities were limited under George Graham and it wasn't until David O'Leary took the helm at the Yorkshire club that Kewell really burst into the public's consciousness. Unlike other promising youngsters, Harry simply got better with age and he continued wowing the crowds until the 1999/00 campaign when he was crowned the PFA young player of the year, as well as Leeds' player of the year.

2000/01 was the season in which Kewell burst onto the European scene in Leeds' Champions League run, but unfortunately an Achilles injury ruled him out for much of the campaign and it was only towards the end of the season that he got back to his best.

In 2002/03 Kewell played 43 games for Leeds and scored one of the goals of the season against Arsenal at Highbury where Leeds emerged the 3-2 victors and ensured their safety in the Barclaycard Premiership. But at the end of the season Kewell felt the time was right to move on to bigger and better things.

By coming to Anfield he hopes to win plenty of silverware and was described by the Manager on his signing as an "exciting" player who is "good for both the club and the fans".
