Explained: How Neco Williams' development is helped by a former LFC full-back

Neco Williams' talents that have seen him reach Liverpool's first team have been honed with the help of someone who's been there and done it.

The 18-year-old full-back impressed again when handed the opportunity to appear for Jürgen Klopp's side, helping produce a clean sheet in Sunday's FA Cup victory over Everton.

Gaining more and more first-team exposure, Williams is able to showcase the abilities he developed at the club's Academy and by working directly with former Reds right-back Rob Jones.

Jones, who regularly works at the Kirkby complex mentoring youth prospects, enjoys a long and fruitful relationship with the Wales youth international.
