'Duo set example for Academy kids'
Academy striker Adam Morgan believes Jon Flanagan and Jack Robinson have set the blueprint for Liverpool youngsters hoping to make an impact at Melwood.
The duo were thrust into first-team action in the run-in to the 2010-11 season and have remained part of Kenny Dalglish's squad ever since.
Morgan is delighted to see his two pals doing so well and hopes to follow in their footsteps in the not too distant future.
Morgan told Liverpoolfc.tv: "I'm an optimistic person so hopefully I can push on with the reserves and try and be around the first-team set-up.
"It'd be great to train with them a few more times per month.
"When you look at the example set by Flanno and Jack Robbo, you can see it can be done. They've done really well so hopefully that can be me in the future."
Morgan has been instrumental for both the U18s and reserves so far this season having already entered double figures in the goal charts.
He admits he is happy to turn out for whoever needs him and feels he is learning every day under the tutelage of Kirkby's coaching staff.
He continued: "I fit in with both the U18 and reserve teams to be fair. I get on with all of the lads. I'm just told from day to day which team I'll be training with and I'm happy with that.
"I've missed out on a few weight sessions as a result. I don't mind that but I know it's important that I get bigger and stronger. I need to keep working hard and I am happy to play for whichever Liverpool team needs me.
"I've learned a lot off both coaches. Mike Marsh has really helped me and I worked with him a lot when I was with the U16s.
"I really enjoy working with Rodolfo too because he has shown me parts of my game that I didn't think I had."
