Liverpool FC starlet confirms Anfield departure on Twitter

Liverpool youngster Daniel Cleary has confirmed his departure on Twitter stating it is “time to move on”.

Cleary, 20, has been a regular for the Anfield club’s under 21 side and made his debut under Brendan Rodgers.

He was last named on the bench for the Reds’ 1-1 draw with Bordeaux in the Europa League in September.

Cleary is a centre-back who can also play right-back and has been a member of Liverpool’s academy since he was 11 years-old.

He went on Liverpool’s pre-season tour last summer and came on as a substitute against a Malaysia XI, and captained the under-21s on four occasions this season.
