Trent Kone-Doherty has signed his first professional contract with Liverpool Football Club.

The 17-year-old joined the Reds from his hometown club Derry City in July last year.

The Republic of Ireland underage international enjoyed an excellent first season on Merseyside with the U18s, scoring 11 goals – including three in the UEFA Youth League – before injury brought an early end to his campaign.

He has started 2023-24 in similar form, netting on his U21s debut in August away at Derby County, while continuing to impress with the U18s, for whom he fired in a hat-trick against Sunderland earlier this month.

Kone-Doherty has already trained with Jürgen Klopp's senior squad and has also impressed with Ireland, representing the young Boys in Green up to U18 level.
