Steve Gorst is the head of pre-Academy recruitment.

A former Liverpool youth-team player, Steve played in the same side as former league and FA Cup winner, the much-missed Gary Ablett.

Steve came back to the club in 2004 to work at the Academy on a part-time basis, before taking up a full-time role in 2016.

Steve is a highly respected figure at the Academy as he continues to aspire to bring the best young talent to the Liverpool family.
