Youngster Trent Kone-Doherty signs first professional contract with Liverpool
The latest addition to the legacy of promising Youth Academy graduates from Liverpool is 17-year-old winger, Trent Kone-Doherty, who has officially signed his first professional contract with the club.
Kone-Doherty’s journey to Liverpool began in the summer of 2022 when he made the switch from his hometown club, Derry City.
Upon joining the Reds, Kone-Doherty embarked on his journey in Liverpool’s youth setup, and it didn’t take long for him to start turning heads with his impressive performances.
The club confirmed his new contract via the official website. In his first season with the U18s, the talented winger showcased his skills and pace, contributing significantly to the team’s success. Notably, he found the back of the net 11 times, including a remarkable three goals in the UEFA Youth League.
However, Kone-Doherty‘s promising season was cut short due to an unfortunate injury. Despite this setback, his potential and dedication to the game remained evident, keeping the Liverpool faithful excited about his future.
The 2023-24 season has seen Trent Kone-Doherty continue his impressive run of form. In August, he made his U21 debut, making an impact by scoring a crucial goal in the match against Derby County. This early success at the U21 level reflects his adaptability and the seamless transition he has made through the ranks of Liverpool’s youth squads.
Under the guidance of Jurgen Klopp, he has had the opportunity to train with the senior team. Such experiences are surely invaluable for young players, allowing them to gain insights and inspiration from senior professionals.
