Liverpool can produce something 'special' at Anfield says Milner
The pair are currently on loan in the Scottish Premiership, with Kent currently starring for Rangers and Millar with Kilmarnock.
Winger Kent, 22, has been a revelation since moving to Ibrox and was recently shortlisted for the PFA Scotland Player of the Year and Young Player of the Year awards.
His most recent switch was his fifth separate loan move and he has revealed he is finally looking for a bit of stability.
“I want to kick-start my career somewhere now,” he said. “I am tired of changing clubs each year, I want to settle down somewhere.”
His comments will come as a boost to Gers boss Steven Gerrard who is keen to keep him at the club.
However, he might have to settle for another temporary deal because his valuation has soared since moving to Scotland.
Kent added: “Liverpool have been good to me, but the enjoyment factor of going back there each year and doing well in pre-season and going back out on loan, it is a repetitive cycle.
“I was 19 when I went to Germany [at Freiburg]. I started off at Coventry in my first loan spell, my first experience of football in a men’s environment, then stepped up a division with Barnsley.

“I had a successful loan spell there and thoroughly enjoyed it under Paul Heckingbottom, who was a great help.
“I then decided to take it to the next level and go to Germany. That didn’t work out so I decided to go to Bristol City.
“Then Steven Gerrard provided this opportunity for me. I wouldn’t have got the opportunity to play in the Europa League anywhere else. In my eyes, the season has been a success.”
“I’ve felt comfortable here, I’ve felt at home here.

“I think the way I have improved, the coaching staff and the manager have managed to find things in my game that other managers haven’t been able to get out of me. And that’s no discredit to other managers.
“I’ve been enjoying myself on the pitch and off the pitch and ultimately that gets the best performances out of me.
“I just want to finish the season as strongly as possible to help the team get as many wins as we can and then obviously I’ll sit down with my representatives and discussion will be had.
“I have three years left on my contract at Liverpool and there’s not much I can really do.

“Whether or not I get opportunities to go elsewhere during the summer, I’d want a club with ambition, a club that’s driven on getting silverware.
“I don’t want to join a team that’s just taking part, that’s not going to get the best out of me.”
Meanwhile, Millar has a smilier view to that of his reds team-mate and says he would love the chance to continue his development at Kilmarnock.
The 19-year-old forward has only recently broken into the first team at Rugby Park and is keen to nail down a regular spot in Steve Clarke’s side.

“Of course it’s frustrating being on the bench as you want to play all the time,” he said.
“But I respect what the gaffer is trying to do with me, I have been patient and waited on my opportunity – and I think I took it well.
“I haven’t had talks about my future yet but I want to be able to come back next season, this is a great club.
“It’s something I would definitely be open to if the opportunity was there.”
