England-born Nigerian exciting youngster Rio Ngumoha has signed his first professional contract with Premier League champions Liverpool.
The Reds disclosed this in a statement on their website yesterday.
“The forward, who joined the Academy in September 2024 after previously being at Chelsea, has made five senior appearances for the Reds to date – most recently in Tuesday’s 2-1 Carabao Cup win over Southampton.
“Ngumoha netted a last-minute winner in a 3-2 victory at Newcastle United last month, marking his Premier League debut.
A few weeks later, the England U19 international appeared in European competition for the first time when he came off the bench in a Champions League success against Atletico Madrid at Anfield.
“Ngumoha featured for the Reds’ U18s, U19s, and U21s in 2024/25 and was handed his senior debut by Arne Slot in an Emirates FA Cup tie against Accrington Stanley in January of this year.”
