The midfielder completed a permanent transfer to French side Olympique Lyonnais having spent the majority of his life on the Reds’ books.Morton made 14 senior appearances for the club in total after rising through the Academy ranks to debut in September 2021.“When you spend 17 years at a club, the fans, players and staff feel like family to you.

It’s more than just football,” he posted on social media today.“I could sit here all day and talk about the memories I experienced throughout my time at Liverpool but I just want to express how grateful I am to this club!“The people around this club have taught me so much and completely shaped me into the person I am today.“First of all, to the staff, players and all my teammates I have worked with, you have been people I will remember for life.

In my hardest times they were always there for me and at my best times they never changed.“To the staff I’m forever grateful for the opportunity you have all given me to play for this club, from the age of five until now all the staff I have come across have guided me and allowed me to be the player I am today and the work they put in behind the scenes at all ages should never go unnoticed.“Finally to the Liverpool fans, thank you for looking after me and my family always.

If I was on loan or at the club I always felt loved and a part of this incredible football club.“You backed me through anything and I hope you know I gave it my all for you because that is the least you deserve!“A lot of change in 17 years, but one thing that will never change is my love for the club.

I will always be a Liverpool fan.“You’ll never walk alone.”
