Owen Beck and Liverpool's Future Loan Plans
Owen Beck, the Welsh left-back currently under contract with Liverpool, is widely expected to go out on loan again for the 2025/26 season as part of his continued development. Beck has spent recent seasons gaining valuable experience on loan, most recently at Blackburn Rovers where he made 24 league appearances, starting 23 times, during the 2024/25 campaign. Following the expiration of that loan, Beck has returned to Liverpool and is now preparing for his next step, which likely involves another loan spell to secure regular first-team football.
Beck's career trajectory has seen him progress steadily through Liverpool’s academy after joining from Stoke City at the under-13 level. He signed his first professional contract in 2020 and subsequently renewed his terms, highlighting the club’s faith in his potential. His professional debut came in the 2021-22 season during a Carabao Cup tie, and he has demonstrated promise while playing in loan stints, including a notable spell at Dundee FC where Liverpool recalled him midway due to good performances and the injury situation at Liverpool.
Despite being a strong squad option, Liverpool currently has more senior left-backs in their ranks, such as Joe Gomez and Andrew Robertson, limiting Beck's opportunities in the first team. Liverpool appears to prefer him to continue developing elsewhere during league campaigns while possibly integrating him into cup matches to manage the workload of senior players.
Beck's journey reflects a typical pathway for young talents at Liverpool—academy nurturing, loan experience to build resilience and competitive match sharpness, and readiness to step up when the opportunity arises. While he has been involved occasionally with Welsh youth international squads and received recognition for his performances during loan periods, the club and player seem aligned on pursuing another loan to maximize his growth through consistent playing time.
