Liverpool star Trent Alexander-Arnold launches PFA-backed scheme to aid released Academy players

Trent Alexander-Arnold has launched a new initiative that aims to provide career opportunities outside of football for former academy players.

The Liverpool star has won every top-level trophy by the age of 24 under the guidance of Jurgen Klopp, establishing himself as one of the most important players in the Reds' squad over the last few years.

Alexander-Arnold, however, represents a remarkably small percentage of young players who go on to not only make the grade at elite level but also thrive in the pressure cooker environment at the top end of the game and as such, the No.66 is keen to ensure that others who don't make a career from the game have other options to fall back on.
