Liverpool fullback Neco Williams has revealed the influence former Reds defender Rob Jones has had on his development.

Today Jones is a youth coach at Liverpool.

Williams told the official LFC matchday magazine, "I'd try crossing from different positions to work on my technique. I'd do this most days a week and keep practising so I could master it because, for me, an assist is just as important as a goal.

"Someone who helped me with this a lot was Rob Jones. After most sessions he would stay back with me, play the ball to me and I'd whip it in.

"It was great to have Rob working with me because of the legend that he is. To have him standing by me, and encouraging me as a player, was a massive help."
