Liverpool academy director Alex Inglethorpe is delighted with Curtis Jones' progress this season.

The midfielder is quickly becoming a key first team player.

Inglethorpe told liverpoolfc.com: "This season we have seen Curtis Jones make his 100th appearance for Liverpool. I think Curtis has had an amazing season and he is someone that always has had high, high potential.

"I think his versatility and his willingness to adapt and be flexible, whether he's asked to play in the middle or out wide at times, right-back in the Premier League against Burnley recently, I look at him now and think he is pivotal to the team.

"It is really good to see Curtis week in, week out contributing to the team's success."
