Tommy Pilling has signed his first professional contract with Liverpool FC. The 17-year-old from St Helens has been at the Academy since the age of five. A talented midfielder, he operates well in tight spaces and can open games up with his passing ability.
He was a regular figure in Marc Bridge-Wilkinson’s U18 squad last season and is set to take on an even more prominent role in the campaign ahead.
Northern Ireland Under-19s international Kieran Morrison has signed his first professional deal with Liverpool after starring for the Premier League club’s Under-18s this season.
The right wing, who started life in the centre of midfield but has gravitated onto the wing over the course of the season, has put pen to paper on his first full-time contract at Anfield after catching the eye for their underage sides.
Morrison has played up and down the age grades for ’Pool this year, featuring for their Under-21s in the Premier League 2, EFL Trophy and Premier League International Cup.
However, it is with Marc Bridge-Wilkinson’s Under-18s where the 17-year-old has dazzled, scoring 13 goals including two last week against Sunderland, while he has captained the side frequently over the course of the campaign.
Born in Manchester and a former Manchester United youth player, Morrison will be hoping to follow in the footsteps of fellow Northern Ireland star Conor Bradley, who has firmly established himself in the Liverpool senior team this season with some stellar displays
Surprised he hasn't.
Nice to see slot using the entire squad though. Excited to see Rio, nyoni and leoni
And I think Danns will get 20-30 mins too !
Me too, was almost sure of it. Big decision for Slot on Saturday. Gravy, Macca and Szobo will definitely start, but either Gakpo or Wirtz will have to sit down.
No room for the real Trent? 😭
He played for the u21. The kid is lightweight. Not ready yet. Also is that Rhys on the bench? Wow.
We really are light in the CB department.
Did you mean Jay Spearing?
Happy with that team, outside of Isak, and maybe the fullbacks, it's very much a second team. Full of people needing minutes. Ekitike probably an exception on the bench too.
Apparently he’s at Oktoberfest.
along with the kraut, as prophesised by dreame
Hoping for our third clean sheet…
Slot has given up on him.
