AFC Barrow manager Pete Wild congratulated Luca Stephenson after the League Two side announced Liverpool’s signing signing.
Speaking to the club’s official website, the EFL coach spoke of his delight at bringing the youngster to Holker Street, as Stephenson is fit to take his first steps into professional football.
Wild said: “First of all, I would like to thank Liverpool for their cooperation in this area. We are very pleased to be presented with one of your bright prospects.
“We’ve done our homework and we think he’ll be a wonderful addition to the group. I hope we can help Luca in his adventure as we have done with other loan players in the past.
A successful first loan can be the key to a young player getting off to a smart start to his career, and Stephenson at Barrow can do just that.
The 19-year-old is predicted to have a huge and long career at Liverpool, and a successful move to Ligue 2 could give Stephenson the platform to start his professional career.
Barrow being a club proud to make smart use of the loan market, Stephenson can be a smart fortune this season, and Wild’s comments recommend a lead role for the Liverpool youngster.
