Northern Ireland youth international Kieran Morrison has been rewarded for his club progress at Liverpool with a first professional contract.

The 17-year-old Manchester-born winger has been handed the skipper’s armband for Liverpool’s under 18s in the current campaign and entered the weekend with 13 goals and seven assists across the season.

Morrison bagged a brace recently to help Liverpool defeat Sunderland and was listed on the starting teamsheet for Saturday’s under 18s’ Premier League clash against Wolves.

Morrison joined Liverpool at under 14s from Manchester United.
