Everton defender Conor Coady has admitted that leaving Liverpool 'wasn't a hard decision' despite spending nine year at his boyhood club.
Coady joined the Reds academy in 2005 and progressed through the ranks before being moved into the senior squad during the 2011/2012 campaign. He was named on the substitutes bench twice but never came on. Originally a central midfielder, the academy product did make his first-team debut the following season, starting a Europa League group stage match against Anzhi Makhachkala, but the lifelong Liverpool fan only made one more appearance - his Premier League debut in 2013 against Fulham, which saw him come on late on in a 3-1 win inspired by a Daniel Sturridge hat-trick.
St Helens-born Coady spent the 2013/2014 campaign on loan at League One Sheffield United, where he racked up 50 appearances across all competitions, before he signed permanently for Huddersfield Town and then Wolves, where he remained for seven seasons before joining the Reds' rivals Everton on loan in the summer.
