I’m so grateful for all the opportunities given to me and so proud to say I’ve represented this club, it has been a dream come true.”“I want to thank all my coaches, teammates and all the staff who have helped me get to this point in my career and put me in the best position ready for my next chapter. Thank you for everything Liverpool FC.”Whilst being let go from an academy is tough, it can often redirect a player onto a career path with a much clearer route to the top.Yesterday, it was announced that Tom Atcheson had been named as Blackburn’s Yong Player of the Year.The 19-year-old had spent the last seven years at the club since being released by Liverpool’s academy when he was part of their U12 setup, proving that success stories can come from setbacks.In today’s generation, players take to social media to announce their releases and that opens them up to a comment section full of support and love.Go back twenty years, and that support system was not there, making it a harder event to deal with.It is promising to see players receive this kind of support as that can be absolutely vital in them bouncing back and continuing to make something of themselves in football.

Let’s hope Miles Lewis does just that.
