Trent Kone-Doherty is making great strides at Liverpool.
Trent Kone-Doherty has signed his first professional contract with Liverpool FC.
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 in October.
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.
Speaking recently, Trent admitted he was loving the challenge of being a Liverpool player.
"I've really enjoyed it and I think it's been a good first year. At the start it was quite tough, obviously, leaving my friends and family. But I think now I'm used to it and I like the change. Obviously, Liverpool are one of the biggest clubs in Europe, so it's still amazing to pull on the shirt."
