Owen Beck has signed a new contract with Liverpool FC.

The Flint-born Wales youth international only signed his first pro contract at Anfield in June.

The 18-year-old left-back’s development is being monitored by Liverpool and Wales strike legend Ian Rush, his great uncle.

And his dad, Shaun, was a prolific goal-scorer for Flint Town.

Beck joined Liverpool’s Academy from Stoke City at U13 level and has moved his way through the age groups.

He spent 2019-20 with the U18s, but was also involved with the U21s for the EFL Trophy and the U19 UEFA Youth League squad.

And this season he has made three appearances for Liverpool U21s in the EFL Trophy.

Beck is highly-regarded at Liverpool which is why they have tied him with a new deal at the club.
