Contract signed: Liverpool confirm deal for up-and-coming talent who could be their next Quansah

April was a torrid month on the pitch for Liverpool, but May has gotten off to a memorable start for one youngster at the club.

On Wednesday, LFC’s official website confirmed that Carter Pinnington has signed his first professional contract with the Reds, having risen through the academy ranks since first joining at under-7 level.

The 17-year-old defender has been a regular presence in Barry Lewtas’ under-21 side this season, featuring prominently in Premier League 2 and the EFL Trophy.
