There was mixed news for the Academy in pre-season. Leighton Clarkson penned his first professional contract in July but, in a double blow, Paul Glatzel and Abdi Sharif suffered ACL injuries.

Defender George Johnston completed a permanent move to Dutch outfit Feyenoord while Rhys Williams sealed a temporary switch to Kidderminster.

When the action got underway a Liverpool U21 team, playing in the Leasing.com Trophy for the first time, narrowly lost 3-2 away at Oldham Athletic - Neco Williams netting a stunning goal and Harvey Elliott also on the mark on his Academy debut.
