CONFIRMED: Liverpool academy director Alex Inglethorpe rewarded with new contract

Liverpool academy director Alex Inglethorpe has been rewarded with a new contract after overseeing the development of a number of youngsters for first-team duty.

Inglethorpe was promoted to his current role in August 2014 and has overseen significant changes which - combined with the influence of manager Jurgen Klopp - has helped accelerate the careers of several promising talents from the club's Kirkby base.

This season has seen the likes of 18-year-olds Ovie Ejaria and Trent Alexander-Arnold make their first-team debuts while a number of other academy players have been given the opportunity to train with the senior squad at Melwood.
