Liverpool sign another goalkeeper to new contract after first-team chance

Liverpool youngster Harvey Davies has signed his first professional contract with the club.

The 17-year-old goalkeeper was key part of the U18s squad that reached the FA Youth Cup final last season.

Marc Bridge-Wilkinson's side suffered a 2-1 defeat to Aston Villa in the showpiece fixture at the end of a memorable cup run.

Davies also got a taste of first-team involvement in March when he was named on the bench for the Reds' Champions League trip to RB Leipzig.

The Liverpool-born shot-stopper earned his chance after training regularly with Jurgen Klopp's senior squad at Kirkby.

He is expected to remain with Marc Bridge-Wilkinson’s U18s next term but will also be expected to push for games at U23 level.

Davies has been a member of the club's academy since U9 level.
