AcademyBen Doak signs first pro contract with Liverpool FC

The forward turned 17 last Friday in a special week where he made his first-team debut in the Carabao Cup contest against Derby County and kept his place on the bench versus Southampton in the Premier League.

Scotland U21 international Doak has enjoyed a fine season since his arrival from Celtic in the summer, impressing with his quick, direct running on the right wing and eye for goal.

Starting with Marc Bridge-Wilkinson’s U18 side, he has also made appearances in Premier League 2 and the Papa Johns Trophy for the U21s and notably for Barry Lewtas’ U19 side in the UEFA Youth League.

Doak scored four goals and provided four assists to help the young Reds top their Youth League group and progress to the last 16.
