Scotland youngster Ben Doak has signed a new long-term contract with Liverpool.
The 17-year-old put pen to paper on the deal to further extend his spell with the Reds, which started in the summer of 2022 when he moved to England from Celtic.
To date, Doak has made six senior appearances for Liverpool, with his debut coming as a substitute in a Carabao Cup tie against Derby County at Anfield last November.
A Premier League bow followed for the Scotland U21 international on Boxing Day with a cameo in a 3-1 win over Aston Villa at Villa Park.

Doak figured heavily in the Reds’ pre-season preparations this summer, with the youngster part of the squads for the trips to Germany and Singapore and producing a number of impressive showings.
He subsequently grabbed his first senior goal for the club with a clinical header in the 4-0 win over Leicester City and featured in all five of the summer fixtures.
The attacker then appeared off the bench in Liverpool’s 2023-24 Premier League opener away at Chelsea.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
