Jake Cain has taken the next step in his burgeoning career by signing a first professional contract with the club.
The 18-year-old midfielder, who has been at the Academy since the age of nine, has become a key figure for the under-18s.
Wigan-born Cain was an integral part of the Liverpool side that won the FA Youth Cup on penalties against Manchester City last season.
Cain has been a regular for Barry Lewtas' U18s this season and has claimed several assists already as well as three goals, including one in the 5-2 defeat at Manchester City.
He was given his debut at U18 level by then coach Steven Gerrard when an U16 player in February 2018.
