Lee Jonas has signed his first professional contract with Liverpool.

The 17-year-old defender has been with the Reds since U12 level after joining from Everton.

Jonas starred for the U18s last season under Marc Bridge-Wilkinson.

He has continued that form this term after scoring in the opening-day victory over Stoke City.

The Liverpudlian primarily plays at centre-back, but he can also fill in at right-back and holding midfield.
