Shelvey enjoying life by the sea

by Setanta Staff , 14 November 2011

On-loan Blackpool midfielder Jonjo Shelvey is revelling in life at Bloomfield Road.


Liverpool's 19-year-old has scored five times in seven appearances for Ian Holloway's men, including his first career hat-trick in the 5-0 demolition of Leeds at Elland Road.

And the former Charlton youngster believes the advanced midfield role afforded to him by Holloway has been key to his success.

"I'm playing a role that I've played for England U19s a few times and it suits me," he told the Liverpool Echo. "You just roam around the pitch, try to get on the ball and make things happen.

"With my forward running I think I can break and score goals.

"I proved that at Leeds, setting up the first goal and scoring a few as well.

"I like the position the manager has put me in.

"You always want more goals but I am happy with five in seven. I'm pleased with the way I've played in most games, but there have been a few when I've not been at the races."
