The alumni project run by Liverpool FC's Academy keeps in contact and supports those who have been part of the Kirkby set-up and departed in years gone by.
As part of the scheme – run by Phil Roscoe, the Academy's head of player care – a regular newsletter is distributed featuring an interview with a former player to catch up on their career.
We recently caught up with full-back Ryan McLaughlin, who was a real favourite among Academy regulars during his time at Kirkby.
