Former Liverpool youth coach Mike Garrity is confident Ben Woodburn will prove his potential.

The Wales winger has struggled with injury over the past year and has been on-loan with Oxford United.

Garrity told Goal: "Ben has had some real bad luck," Garrity says. “I've known him and his family really well since he was a baby really. He's such a talented boy.

"I'd be wrong to say he's lost his way, but he's been unfortunate with injuries and things not working out as he expected.

“But someone like him, a great kid with a great work ethic and attitude, he'll knuckle down and kick on. He'll take things from this. He's too good a player to keep down. He's got loads of talent."
