We are really pulling for young Liam as he is a local lad. He has had a very tough time over the past few seasons due to a couple of illnesses. At 22-years-old he is behind in his development but the club has thought enough of his potential to recently extend his contract.
He is on loan at Grimsby Town until January and hopefully he will now be able to get a long run in the team.
