Jake Cain's senior debut for Liverpool was an experience that will live with him for a very long time.
The midfielder, who first joined the Academy at the age of five, was a key performer in the centre of the park during the FA Cup fourth-round replay victory over Shrewsbury Town at Anfield earlier this month.
Wigan-born Cain started the season in the U18s team and moved up to the U23s around Christmas, making for another memorable campaign for the 2018-19 FA Youth Cup winner.
We recently caught up with the 18-year-old to discuss his Liverpool debut and why this is only the start of a long journey ahead…
On the beginning of the season, lining up for the U18s, and his hopes and aspirations…
I was just hoping to maintain my place in the team and carry on from last year because I had a good season, and hopefully in the coming months get a few chances with the U23s and get challenged a bit more.
