'LFC taught me everything - and the door is always open'
The wrench of leaving Liverpool after 10 years with the club he loves has not diminished Tom Brewitt's ambitions in the slightest.
A decade with the Reds came to an end for the central defender this summer as his contract was not renewed – an understandably ‘tough’ experience that the young man has met with impeccable maturity.
“In my ideal world, I never wanted to leave,” he tells Liverpoolfc.com.
“I wanted to progress into the first team and kick on from there. But it could be that one door closes and another one opens. I need to look forward to my next challenge.”
Brewitt joined the ranks in Kirkby at U11 level and progressed through the age groups nicely as he attempted to follow in the footsteps of one of his idols, Jamie Carragher.
He wore the armband for the U18s side and was described ahead of last season as the ‘Academy captain’ due to his leadership qualities and the standards he demanded from teammates.
Sadly, 2016-17 did not pan out as planned for the 20-year-old, who feels the circumstances did not align to present him with the kind of opportunity taken by the likes of Trent Alexander-Arnold and Ben Woodburn.
“The ideal situation was that I was going to play week in, week out until Christmas and then go on loan in January,” says Tom.
“But because I didn’t play enough football, it meant my opportunities were limited to go on loan, which left me playing for the U23s.
“I think when I played, I played really well. But it was a case of too little, too late in terms of the first team and who the gaffer wants to go forward with.
“Liverpool has been my home. It has taught me everything in terms of football, how to deal with highs and how to deal with lows.
“If you ask people about me, the first thing they say is I’m ultra-professional. That’s the main thing I’ve taken from it to go forward: be ultra-professional, 100 per cent day in, day out and then no matter what, I’ve done what I can do.
“I’m not looking back on my LFC years and thinking that I could have done more and that’s why I’m leaving. I’m looking back thinking that circumstances didn’t really give me the opportunity and it’s now time to move on.”

the lad sounds sensible.
He knew what he needed to get through in his year and it failed to occur.
At his age he's better off going and getting games.
TBH he was marginal for a contract last year according to sources.
It does sound like he gets it.
Klopp told i think ojo that he was at 70% in u23 games so was not getting a chance in seniors. He needed to actually sprint and go go go and be on it like it was seniors. If you watch TAA in u23s he seems to have gotten the message and he's basically ripping it up.
He does indeed sound very sensible. If and when players leave the club, this is the way I like it - with love in their hearts.
I think he had injuries.
One very consistent theme at youth level for us is consistent injuries.
I don't know if it's poor habits, conditioning, warmup/down or over rapid advancement through ages.
We have loads of examples though
Like with finely honed cars, finely honed athletes have a multitude of parts that can break down.
True but at 16-18-19?
I sunno but every chelsea and utd youth we see seem to be athletes and our look like a kid. I dont know whats going on but we get a huge amount of injuries
Off the top of my head i could name 5 or 6 whove got injyred and then not kicked on but a lot are knees or such.
I dont know why.
Orange 3rd kit? Wishy washy away...
Ffs I'm Ginger...think the home kit is dark enough this year to get away with?

I have seen the away one in the flesh and don't like it. I like the home one a lot. (wish it was all white still)
i would rather a dayglow orange than the wishywashy away kit. i really think its weak.

Finally got this Salah deal over the line then, this club has the most drawn out transfer process of all time
Waiting to see how he turns out for us before getting to excited about our new Salad. The right type of player we need for when Mané is out at least (or even in).
