NewsTrent Kone-Doherty signs first professional contract with Liverpool

The 17-year-old joined the Reds from his hometown club Derry City in July last year.

A winger blessed with skill and pace, he enjoyed a fine first season on Merseyside with the U18s, scoring 11 goals – including three in the UEFA Youth League – before injury brought an early end to his campaign.

He has started 2023-24 in similar form, netting on his U21s debut in August away at Derby County, while continuing to impress with the U18s, for whom he fired in a hat-trick against Sunderland earlier this month.

Kone-Doherty has already trained with Jürgen Klopp's senior squad and enjoyed youth international recognition from the Republic of Ireland up to U18 level.
