Liverpool Youth Player Extends Contract and Departs on Loan

Liam Millar will spend the rest of the 2020-21 season on loan
with Charlton Athletic.

It may not be the defensive signing every fan is hoping for, but
Liverpool have made one move in the transfer market today as they
extended forward Liam Millar’s contract before sending the young
player out on loan to League One side Charlton Athletic.

The 21-year-old began his career in Canada before moving to
England and joining Fulham as a 13-year-old. He then switched to
Liverpool at 16 on a free transfer, and has since departed on a
pair of half-season loans with Kilmarnock in the Scottish
Premiership.

Since his first senior international cap in 2018, Millar has
made eight appearances for the Canadian national team. In that time
he also has one senior Liverpool appearance, made in the FA
Cup fourth round replay against Shrewsbury Town last
February.

This season, Millar had been the regular captain for the U23
side and was a nominee for Premier League 2 player of the month in
September and November. He joins a Charlton side currently sixth in
League One and targeting promotion to the Championship.
