Liam got his first taste of action in Keith Lasley’s testimonial match against Bolton Wanderers where he showed exactly what he was capable of by hitting a long range shot which hit the bar. His official debut came in a league fixture in a 1-1 draw against Ross County.

The young Englishman became a popular player at Fir Park, despite the side struggling for results, Liam’s energy and commitment quickly won over the fans, his work ethic, improvement and development was exceptional.

Liam has been capped at England U18 level.
