Joe Hardy signs new contract with Liverpool

Joe Hardy only arrvied at Liverpool from Brentford in January but, as announced on the club’s official website, he’s already signed a new contract.

The 21-year-old was in good form for the Liverpool U23s before the season was cut short, and that form was rewarded when he made his first-team debut as part of the young Reds’ side that knocked Shrewsbury Town out of the FA Cup.

Hardy came off the bench in the game as a youthful Liverpool side won the replay 1-0 and he could get more first-team opportunites in the future now that he’s committed his future to the club.

Liverpool must have some confidence in Hardy’s ability to sign him and give him a contract at the age of 21.

With a fierce array of attacking options ahead of him at the club, it could be tough for the Wirral-born star to see much in terms of game time, but clearly he’s well thought of and the Reds’ coaches must think he has a chance of making an impact down the line.
