Reina salutes title-chasers
Pepe Reina has paid tribute to the club's Academy staff as the U18s go in search of the Group C League title against Wolves this afternoon.
The Reds need three points from their final match to leapfrog Everton into top spot and book a place in the national play-off semi-final.
Reina admits he has been impressed by the progress being made in Kirkby and feels it bodes well for first-team squads of the future.
"Both Rodolfo (Borrell) and Pep Segura have shown in just a few years that they are working really well along with the other Academy staff," Reina told Liverpoolfc.tv.
"It is important for us to develop these type of players because it can be very helpful in the future. The likes of Flanno, Spearo, Martin Kelly and Robbo are important for us now and it has to be like that every season.
"Credit to the lads but also to the people who have helped them on their way up."
Reina added: "We are improving in all areas of the club and the Academy is the same."
