Ben grew up in Tattenhall, Cheshire, and from an early age was interested in soccer, but also played cricket. He joined Liverpool’s soccer academy at the under-7 level, and since then has been in the club. He rose through the ranks as he got older, and during this time one of the academy’s directors spoke of Ben as one of the brightest prospects that Liverpool had ever had. He joined Liverpool’s first team for the 2016-2017 season, after impressing manager Jürgen Klopp in training. He made his debut in the pre-season, in a victory against Tranmere Rovers, and in the next game scored and provided an assist, propelling Liverpool to a 5-0 win over Fleetwood Town. He signed his first professional contract on the 8th November 2016.
His official debut happened on the 26th November against Sunderland, thus becoming the third youngest Liverpool player for to appear in the Premier League, at 17 years and 42 days. Just three days later, Ben scored his first goal, coming off the bench in an EFL Cup game against Leeds United. Thanks to his great play, Ben was included in the starting lineup on 8th January 2017 in the FA Cup match against Plymouth Argyle, then in April the same year, Ben made his first start in the EPL, eventually finishing the season with five appearances in the EPL league and nine overall, scoring one goal.
In the most recent season, Ben has been used primarily in the under-19 side, as the club wants him to develop his skills, and as a result, has played only one game for the first team, but has signed a new contract with Liverpool, which would keep him for the next five years at Anfield Road.
While a part of the Under-18 team, Ben has played in the UEFA Youth League, in which Liverpool is expecting a match against Manchester United.
He has also had success on an international level, but instead of playing for England, Ben chose to play for the Welsh national team, as he is eligible through his grandfather’s ancestry. So far he has played in six games for the senior team, and scored one goal, against Austria in a 2018 FIFA World Cup qualification match.
