Owen Beck, defender - Liverpool FC

Owen Beck arrived at the Liverpool FC Academy from Stoke City at U13 level and has gone on to represent the senior team.

The forward-thinking left-back broke into the U18s side in the 2019-20 season and was also a part of the Reds' U19 UEFA Youth League squad.

Beck, a Wales youth international, signed his first professional contract with Liverpool in June 2020 and penned fresh terms in July 2021 while away with the seniors for pre-season, having enjoyed a successful campaign with the U23s in 2020-21.

Beck made his professional debut in 2021-22 when he came off the bench during the Carabao Cup tie at Preston North End and featured versus Leicester City in the same competition as Liverpool went on to win the trophy.

The full-back initially made a loan move to Famalicao in Portugal's top flight in the summer of 2022, before also spending time at Bolton Wanderers.

His development continued with a stint at Scottish Premiership side Dundee in the first half of 2023-24. Following a brief substitute appearance against AFC Bournemouth in the Premier League, Beck again rejoined Dundee on loan until the end of the campaign.

And his form there was recognised with a place in the PFA Scotland Premiership Team of the Year, selected by fellow players.

After featuring in Arne Slot's pre-season, Beck would head to Blackburn Rovers of the Championship on loan for 2024-25.
