17-year-old Ben Doak signed a long-term-deal with the club yesterday, making him the latest academy graduate to link up with the first-team.
Doak impressed over pre-season and has already made six appearances for the first-team and is hoping to earn minutes across the Europa League and domestic cups this campaign.
Jurgen Klopp has always championed young stars from the academy, bringing no less than 10 on their pre-season tour of Asia this summer.
We also saw 20-year-old centre-back Jarrel Quansah make his full Liverpool debut during the win over Wolves at the weekend and there is a strong contingent of academy players within the squad.
In fact, only eight academy graduates have played 50 senior games since 2000, and just two remain at Anfield.
Over the years we’ve seen the club bring through plenty of young stars, so here at LiverpoolWorld, we thought it was time for a trip down memory lane - here’s the last 10 Liverpool academy graduates.
5. Raheem Sterling
Signed as a 15-year-old, Sterling was one of the hottest talents in England at the time. He made his debut aged 17 and went onto make 129 appearances, scoring 23 times before being sold for £50m to Manchester City. | Liverpool FC via Getty Images
6. Jon Flanagan
The right-back was an ever present under Brendan Rogers and made his first team debut in 2011. He nearly won the league with Liverpool in 2013/14 and remained with the first-team until 2016, where he spent two years on loan before leaving the club for Rangers in 2018. He retired in 2022 after a brief spell with Danish side HB Koge. | Liverpool FC via Getty Images
7. Jay Spearing
Currently still at the club in a player/coach role for the U21 side, Spearing originally broke through in 2008. He made his debut in the Champions League, aged 20 and went on to make 55 appearances. He has been at the club since the age of 7. | AFP via Getty Images
8. Martin Kelly
Perhaps one people may have forgotten, Kelly joined Liverpool aged 7 and eventually made his debut as a 19-year-old. He made 62 appearances before departing for Crystal Palace where he stayed for eight years - he currently plies his trade at West Brom in the Championship. | Liverpool FC via Getty Images
