Former players from the Liverpool FC Academy at Kirkby were recently invited to an important seminar by the Professional Footballers' Association.
The event was organised by the club’s Academy player care manager, Phil Roscoe, and Academy education manager Caitlin Hawkins to inform former youth players of the benefits, training and advice still available to them through their players’ union.
It forms part of LFC’s Alumni Project, which throughout the past two years has sought to strengthen the support and links between the Reds and former Academy players.
The PFA representatives reminded the players that once they joined the union – as a scholar or professional player – they remained a member for life, not just when they are under contract at a club.
