He is the youngest player in Liverpool history and was supposed to be the new Sterling, but now Sinclair is selling chickens

Football careers are fickle and if you don’t add grit and diligence to great talent, you’ll be swept away quickly. Jerome Sinclair, the youngest debutant in Liverpool history, could tell you about that.

Sinclair was such a great talent that Liverpool paid West Brom £200,000 for him when he was 14. When he turned 16, he immediately peeked into the A-team.

“It all happened so quickly. My first training session with the A team was the best of my life. Everything I kicked ended up in the net. I was so happy. Coach Brendan Rodgers called me in and told me he really liked me and I would be here more often,” Sinclair tells his life story to The Sun.

“Then at the hotel I found out I was on the bench against West Brom. Most of the lads I played with were passers of the ball. I’ll never forget the moment Rodgers said. At 16, I had no fear,” Sinclair recalls.

At 16 years and six days old, he became the youngest player ever to play for Liverpool and was considered the new Raheem Sterling. After his debut in the EFL Cup, Sinclair continued to shoot for the Reds’ youth categories, but did not make it into the first team.

Fried chicken

He only appeared in 5 games for the first team and went out on loan. He scored his only goal for Liverpool under Jürgen Klopp in the 2015-16 season in the FA Cup against Exeter. He subsequently went on loan to Wigan, before moving to Watford in 2016.

But he only appeared in 12 games there and spent more time on loan – at Wigan, Birmingham, Sunderland, Oxford, VVV-Venlo and CSKA Sofia.

But after the last engagement, Sinclair decided to quit football. ” I’m Liverpool’s youngest ever player, but after 10 years I own a fried chicken shop in Birmingham after my last club sacked me,” says Sinclair.

Last June, he bought a franchise branch of the fast food chain Morley’s, which sells fried chicken, chips, burgers and more.
