Liverpool have announced plans for all workers to be paid the Real Living Wage as a minimum.

From the start of the next financial year in June 2018, casual workers at the club will be paid at least that level of wage, from which full-time staff already benefit.

The Real Living Wage is currently £8.45 for those outside London, although new rates are set to be announced on Nov. 6.
