Expanding details
Inglethorpe, a 17-year-old from Wirral, has been part of Liverpool’s pathway since pre-Academy level and stepped up as a first-year scholar at the beginning of this season. Operating in attack and highlighted for pace and natural finishing, he has produced five goals and five assists for Simon Wiles’ U18 squad in the 2025-26 campaign. The England youth international marked his U18s debut with a goal away at Stoke City in August, then found the net on his first appearance for the U21s in a friendly against Preston North End in November. He has also featured twice for the U19s in this season’s UEFA Youth League, reflecting growing involvement across age groups at the Academy.
The confirmation from lfc formalizes a step forward in his development, recognizing tangible contributions at U18 level and early exposure with the U19s and U21s.
