Liverpool have moved to hand Tom Hill his first professional contract, as confirmed on the club’s official website.

Despite his tender years he has since stepped up and played in Neil Critchley’s under-23 team.

Hill’s remarkable breakthrough campaign has also seen him make his first-team debut.

He played the full 90 minutes of a 5-0 defeat to Aston Villa during the Carabao Cup quarter-final.

Hill will probably continue his progress with both the under-18 and under-23 teams having signed his first professional deal.

In total the attack-minded player has scored six times this season and has played in a number of positions.

Liverpool fans appear delighted with this news and have taken to Twitter to congratulate the young performer.
