Kieran Morrison, an academy product, has signed his first professional contract at Anfield, according to a statement released by Liverpool.
Following the contract signing, Morrison took to social media, and the Reds verified the news on their website and social media accounts.
Morrison, who has previously played for the Under-21 team, has been a vital member of Marc Bridge-Wilkinson’s Liverpool Under-18 team this season.
The 17-year-old started the season as a central midfielder but was later moved to the right side, where he scored a lot of goals.
The Northern Ireland youth international Morrison has scored 13 goals for Liverpool, including a number of long-range rockets, and provided seven assists.
In the teenager’s final Reds match, last weekend against Sunderland, he scored a brace while wearing the captain’s armband.
Morrison, a Manchester native, enrolled in Liverpool’s academy at the Under-14 level after attending Manchester United.
After Kieran Morrison signed his first professional contract, what comments did his Liverpool teammates have for him?
Morrison posted on Instagram on Friday night to share his happiness at landing his first professional deal.
Trey Nyoni, Jayden Danns, and Lewis Koumas, among others, congratulated him in the Instagram comments.
Koumas wrote “top kie,” Danns wrote “top brother,” and Nyoni wrote “nice you.”
Whether an academy product is landing his first contract or making his club debut, it’s always wonderful to see them reach a significant career milestone.
Morrison is a gifted player, and it will be interesting to watch how the Liverpool academy develops him in the upcoming years.

Liverpool and the new managerial target schedule another meeting
Even if Liverpool isn’t in a hurry right now, they obviously need to act fast if they want to have Jurgen Klopp’s replacement at Anfield in a timely manner.
When his contract expires on June 30, the German coach, who has brought a new era to the team, will step down and is anticipated to take a well-earned break from coaching.
Any next manager will have the challenge of developing the team that Klopp assembled in addition to continuing Liverpool’s reputation for playing free-flowing football.
Since it won’t be an easy process, Michael Edwards and the board need to make sure the appointment is perfect.
A new meeting has been scheduled for the managerial target at Liverpool.
Ruben Amorin of Sporting was formerly thought to be the player that might lead the team to success, but it appears that the 39-year-old Portuguese isn’t the front-runner right now.
In an interview with CaughtOffside for his exclusive Daily Briefing, Fabrizio Romano claims that the Reds have set up a follow-up meeting with Arne Slot of Feyenoord.
With the Eredivisie giants, the 45-year-old has performed admirably, dropping just four games over nearly two seasons.
Slot is thought to be open to the change, but he’ll need thick skin to withstand the initial blow if things don’t work out as planned.
Naturally, that is only assuming things go that far.
Amorim is still a candidate and stays in the background, but it’s possible that other candidates will surface before the club decides who they want to lead the team going ahead.
In light of the approaching transfer window, it is advantageous for all parties involved if a quick resolution can be reached.
In this manner, a degree of continuity may be established as opposed to a managerial panic purchase that might upset the apple cart at Anfield.
