I am thrilled to be joining a club as prestigious and successful as Liverpool.

If I wasn't a footballer, I would be a virgin

I ve got a boot boy from the Youth team. His name s Kudos - he's a good lad and has been looking after me for a few years.

I usually wear moulded boots for training, but I mainly wear studs in matches unless it s really dry.

I'm confident enough to say I was better than my mates! But with the different competitions I did play with some good players, who didn't make it for whatever reason. I was lucky enough to be able to do what I love, and my mates have continued to play at a lower level and really enjoy it, I know that's exactly what I'd be doing if I wasn't here today.

My dad got me my first pair of boots. It was a big occasion for us to go to the shopping centre. It was an exciting time to make sure you got the right ones.

I've got my own targets... To establish myself in the team and once you are a regular for Liverpool then England, recognition comes from that and hopefully this will prove the case.
