Leighton Clarkson has signed a new long-term contract with Liverpool FC.
The 18-year-old midfielder made his senior debut for the Reds as a substitute in the Carabao Cup quarter-final against Aston Villa last December.
He went on to make his first start for the club in the FA Cup fourth-round victory over Shrewsbury Town in front of a crowd of more than 50,000 supporters at Anfield.
A technical player with an excellent range of passing, Clarkson stepped up to the U23s squad just after Christmas, playing in both deeper and more advanced midfield positions.
He is also a regular threat with his set-piece delivery from free-kicks and corners.
