Liam Millar story
21-year-old wide forward Liam Millar is a fully fledged international having made 11 appearances for Canada.
The youngster joined the Reds in 2016 and impressed at every academy level.
However, he struggled to find a way into the first team and has instead been sent on loan to Kilmarnock and Charlton Athletic.
Last season he netted two and assisted six for the Addicks.
