“I’ve spent a lot of time in the academy here, pointing to Liam as the role model to junior players, the epitome of what we want the club to be about and that the emblem of hard work pays off.
“The way he conducts himself and commits himself to his craft, I think people on the outside would be shocked by how dedicated he is and how hard he works.
“Everything he receives in his career, he has earned 100 per cent.
