Liverpool youngster Tyler Morton opens up on 'crazy' new role for Blackburn Rovers

Liverpool midfielder Tyler Morton says he 'enjoyed' playing at centre-back for Blackburn Rovers in their 2-1 win over Bradford City.

The Championship side progressed to the third round of the competition with a victory on Tuesday night, but the 19-year-old was utilised in a rather unfamiliar position. He went on to have a solid game as the official Blackburn Rovers Twitter account shared after the game: "To the Liverpool fans asking, yes Tyler Morton really did play centre-back tonight... he was boss."

The youngster joined the Lancashire-based club earlier in the summer on a season-long loan and has already made six appearances for the club. He's registered just one assist so far, in their Carabao Cup first-round win over Hartlepool earlier this month.
