Matty Virtue on Blackpool, Critchley, LFC and training with Firmino and Wijnaldum

The 23-year-old boyhood Red arrived in Kirkby as an U11 player and progressed to captain the U23s.

In January 2019, Virtue completed a permanent move to Blackpool, where he is now under the tutelage of two familiar faces from the Academy - manager Neil Critchley and coach Mike Garrity.

We recently caught up with Virtue - read on for our in-depth interview on his period at LFC and how he is progressing at his new club...

On how much he is enjoying life at Blackpool…

It’s going well. As some Liverpool fans will know, Neil Critchley is the manager, so football is a small world and I’m definitely enjoying my time there.
