Niall Brookwell came to the Football Flick Academy once lockdown restrictions eased. He was looking for a place to train and dust off the cobwebs while academy football had paused due to the uncertainty around COVID. Brookwell, age 18, has been at the Liverpool Academy since the age of 9. He has previously been at Bolton Wanderers where his talent had earned him a move to the red of Merseyside. Here he was under the stewardship of academy manager Alex Inglethorpe & no other than former U18s manager & Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard.
