Liverpool have signed of highly-rated youth player Cameron Brannagan to a new deal.

The Reds' U21 captain is one of the most exciting prospects at the Merseyside club's academy at present and made his debut in the Europa League clash with Bordeaux last month.

The 19-year-old's previous deal was set to expire at the end of next season, but his new contract will keep him at Anfield until 2018.

"Happy to have signed my new contract with Lfc," the 19-year-old confirmed on Twitter.
