Liverpool youngster celebrates new deal.
On Tuesday afternoon, promising Liverpool midfielder Jake Cain scored the Reds’ goal in the UEFA Youth League against Napoli.
The equaliser secured a 1-1 draw in Italy, which was deserved after a good shift from the under-19 side.
Also much deserved was a new deal for Cain, which the club announced on Thursday.
Cain has now signed his first professional contract with Liverpool.
Speaking to Liverpool’s official website, Cain could not hide his joy.
He said: “It’s a dream come true really.
“It has been one of my aspirations all my life and it has finally happened. I’m buzzing with that and all my family are made up as well.”
Cain has been in Liverpool’s academy since he was just nine years old.
The 18-year-old was part of Liverpool’s FA Youth Cup winning side last season.
He has been in terrific form for the Reds’ under-18s this season too.
In four league games he has scored two goals, and provided four assists, with one assist coming in the recent win over Manchester United.
Cain has a bright future and it seems there is nowhere else he would rather be.
