Thompson Named In LFE 'The 11' For Achievements On And Off The Pitch

Derby County youngster Liam Thompson has been named in League Football Education (LFE) ‘The 11’ to acknowledge his achievements on and off the pitch.

The midfielder has been a staple in Justin Walker’s Under-18s side so far this season, starting in all four of the UEFA Youth League games as well as making 11 starts for the Under-18s and a further two appearances in the Under-23s, all while maintaining his studies in the second year of his apprenticeship.

He is one of 33 apprentices to win the award over the course of the 2019/20 season, which celebrates the holistic development of young players.

Derby County’s Max Bird has previously won the award before being named EFL’s Apprentice of the Year last season.
