Rushden & Diamonds Under 16 player Aaron King
has completed a move to Liverpool FC for an undisclosed
fee.
Aaron joined Rushden &
Diamonds Youth Development at the age of 11, moving into the Centre
of Excellence in his Under 13 year, where he has continued through
to Under 16 level. After a successful trial with the
Reds, Aaron begins his two-year scholarship with Liverpool on
6th July, becoming the third player in the last two
seasons to move from Rushden & Diamonds Youth System to a
Premiership club.
Head of Youth Paul Driver
commented "We are all absolutely thrilled for Aaron - this is a
brilliant achievement for everyone involved in his development
throughout the five years that he has been with us.
His progress with us to
get to the level where one of the 'Big 4 Clubs' is prepared to
offer him a scholarship also serves as further evidence of how well
we have maintained our system despite the withdrawal of financial
support from the football authorities in the past two
seasons".
