Curtis Jones: Melwood made me a better player and person

The attacking midfielder, who turned 18 on Wednesday, has been based at Melwood since early 2018 and made his senior debut for Jürgen Klopp’s side in the FA Cup third-round tie at Wolverhampton Wanderers last month.

“Loads has improved,” Jones told the official matchday programme, regarding the benefits to his development of working with the seniors.

“My understanding of the game, when to move the ball quick, when to dribble and the spaces I find myself in – they’re all definitely better than when I was playing in the U18s and even the U23s.

“I know I need to find more space that allows me more time on the ball because players are better, smarter and quicker at getting up to press you and getting close to you.
