Former Liverpool starlet Adam Morgan, who earned the praise of club legend Robbie Fowler, has returned to the area with eighth-tier non-league side City of Liverpool FC.
The 30-year-old, who was given his breakthrough by Brendan Rodgers in 2012, has had spells at Accrington Stanley, Yeovil Town and a plethora of other EFL and non-league clubs since leaving Anfield. He returned home in 2022 with Halewood Apollo.
With just the one senior Liverpool goal to his name, a pre-season friendly trike against Canadian side Toronto FC, Morgan never became part of Rodgers' first team.
But that didn't stop club legend Fowler from claiming he was one of the club's best finishers, despite Luis Suarez and Daniel Sturridge being present, and that he had a bright future ahead of him on Merseyside.
In the same crop of young talent as Raheem Sterling, Morgan joined the Reds in 2002 and made a name for himself eight years later, scoring 18 goals in just 16 games for the academy side.
These exploits earned him a chance with the first team and plaudits from club legend Fowler, who witnessed the striker in action while visiting the academy for a coaching session.
Fowler said: "I think it was massive for Adam to be involved with the first team on this tour, and it was brilliant of the manager to give him that chance.
"As a goalscorer, I think he's fantastic. I was lucky enough to train with him at the Academy last year when I was doing some coaching. He is very left-footed and his finishing is very good. He is composed in front of the goal and Rushie would tell you as well, if you are composed and patient in front of the goal then you will have a chance.
"He never looks ruffled and that to me is a great sign regardless of what level you are playing at. He's a young lad, he's got a lot to learn about his play outside the box but that will come. As a finisher, he is probably one of the best I've seen for a long, long time to be honest.
"It's wrong for me to say what he should be doing and so on because I'm not with him all the time, but in the games I've seen him play in, he's done alright. He's scored goals, and he's been a handful.
"He works hard, and he knows his job, which is to score goals. He has done that at every level he has played in so far. If you've got it you've got it. You can tell people how to score goals, but it's about being instinctive, composed, and patient, and it could be 89 minutes before you get a chance."
Alas, Morgan never made an impact at Liverpool. He rarely became a figure on Rodgers' bench and made his senior debut against Hearts in a Europa League qualifier, starting the reverse fixture and a subsequent group game.
That 2012 campaign was the only time Morgan would play competitively for the Reds. He was shipped out on loan to Rotherham United in January and sold to Yeovil a year later.
Moving club almost every year, Morgan has jumped around various tiers of English football and even made a trip over to Ireland with Sligo Rovers in 2018.
Now, the forward has signed for City of Liverpool, a club founded in 2015. Its purple home strip and nickname, "The Purps," allude to a combination of Liverpool red and Everton blue.
