The 29-year-old put pen to paper on a two-year extension to his current deal this afternoon.
He told Liverpoolfc.tv: "I am very happy that we have reached an
agreement. Of course, to be at a club like this is a dream come true
and I want to keep playing here.
"Hopefully now I can concentrate on the hard work that needs to be
done and try to play better and better and win some silverware."
The Israeli international, who moved to Anfield from West Ham in July 2007, scored nine goals in 42 appearances during 2008-09.
In February, Benayoun marked Liverpool's first ever competitive
visit to the Bernabeu with the only goal as we beat Real Madrid in the
Champions League last 16.
A dramatic stoppage-time winner at Fulham followed in April before
our No.15 struck twice in the pulsating 4-4 draw with Arsenal at
Anfield.
He follows Steven Gerrard, Fernando Torres, Daniel Agger and Dirk Kuyt in committing his long-term future to the club.
Boss Rafa Benitez said: "You know that our idea was to extend the
contracts of some players and Yossi was one of these players.
"He has been really good for us over the last year, scoring crucial
goals and getting assists, so we wanted to keep him and I'm really
pleased with the extension."
