Michael Thomas and Neil Danns take up Liverpool FC Academy roles

Michael Thomas will need no introduction to Reds fans, having played 124 games for the club and scored nine goals, including a spectacular effort in the 1992 FA Cup final.

Thomas will be taking on a mentoring role – similar to that of former Reds Rob Jones and Steve McManaman - focused on the youth development phase from U13s to U16s.

Former Liverpool schoolboy and current professional player Neil Danns has also joined the club in a coaching capacity.

Danns will be working in and around the U13s and U14s.

With over 500 professional games plus 17 international games (and nine goals) representing Guyana, he brings a wealth of playing experience across all levels.
