Liverpool career[]

He helped Liverpool take the 2006 FA Youth Cup trophy, scoring in the final against Man City. He was promoted to the first team for the 2006-07 season, but only made one appearance - against Galatasaray on 5 December 2006 in a Champions League group stage match - due to the presence of Jamie Carragher, Sami Hyypia and Daniel Agger.
He joined League One side Oldham for the end of the season. The rest of his Liverpool career was spent on loan; to Xerez in the 2007-08 season and Cartagena for the 2008-09 season. He was released on 16 June 2009.
