As one full-back’s departure from Liverpool appears inevitable, another has pledged his future to the club.
Reports suggest that Trent Alexander-Arnold is close to finalizing a move to Real Madrid, with months of speculation seemingly reaching its climax. The LFC academy graduate’s time at Anfield seems to be drawing to a close, but a new chapter is beginning for another young defender.
Liverpool have announced that Clae Ewing, an 18-year-old left-back, has signed his first professional contract with the club. Ewing, who joined Liverpool’s academy from Bury as an under-12 player, has made notable appearances this season, including in the UEFA Youth League against Stuttgart and for the under-21s in a Premier League 2 win over Stoke.
This contract marks a key milestone in Ewing’s career, with Liverpool showing confidence in his potential to make a meaningful impact in the coming years. While primarily a left-back, he has also featured in midfield and has recorded a goal and three assists across various youth levels this season. His next challenge will be establishing himself as a regular for the under-21s and potentially earning opportunities with the first team during pre-season.
Ewing can draw inspiration from recent academy graduates, such as Trey Nyoni, Jarell Quansah, and Ben Doak, who have all earned senior opportunities with Liverpool.
Congratulations to Clae Ewing on this achievement, and here’s to a bright future with the Reds!
