AcademyPatrik Farkas signs contract with Liverpool FC

The Hungary youth international midfielder arrives at the Academy having spent the previous four years at Blackburn Rovers.

Farkas, now 19, had a short period within the Reds' youth ranks prior to his time with Blackburn.

He was named in the U21s' matchday squad for the first time for Monday evening's Premier League 2 game against West Ham United.

"It's a dream come true to sign here, I'm really happy and just excited to get started," Farkas told Liverpoolfc.com.

"I'm enjoying being back at Liverpool, there are some new faces but it's good to meet everyone and also see lots of old friends as well.

"I'm a technical player, a box-to-box player who can play in multiple positions and try to make things happen.

"The coaches have just asked me to excite them, to get playing, be confident and show them what I can do. From there anything can happen. Work hard and take the next step from there."

His younger brother Erik is also at the club, currently with the U18s group in Kirkby.

"We've always played together, from when I was four years old," said Patrik. "We do push each other, that's the aim, to push each other and that's how we get better."
