Eagle-eyed Liverpool fans may recognise Davies’ name – and that’s because the young Scouser earned a place on the bench in the Champions League away fixture against RB Leipzig last season, and for both legs of the subsequent quarter-final versus Real Madrid.

The 6’2″ goalkeeper frequently trains with the senior team and has now signed his first pro deal with the club.

A contract was offered to Davies this summer and he wasted no time putting pen to paper to pledge his long-term future to the Reds.

It’s nice to see Liverpool rewards its most talented youth players in this manner – further down the pecking orders, kids will be looking up to the likes of Harvey and dreaming about what their futures hold.
