NewsLuca Stephenson makes loan move to Barrow

The 19-year-old, who has been with the Reds since U15 level, will seek to gain senior experience with a first loan away from the club.

Stephenson, who can also play at right-back or in central defence, had helped Liverpool U21s take seven points from their opening three Premier League 2 fixtures this term, starting each game.

Barrow continue their League Two campaign with a trip to Harrogate Town on Saturday afternoon.
