Ben Doak arrived at Liverpool FC from Celtic in the summer of 2022 and signed his first professional contract with the club in November of that year.

A fast and direct winger, Doak impressed for Liverpool’s U18s, U19s and U21s in his first season with the club, netting 10 goals and providing numerous assists.

Doak went on to make his first Premier League outing off the bench at Aston Villa on Boxing Day, and totalled five games under Jürgen Klopp during 2022-23.
