Tait told the Liverpool Echo: “His goals, that’s what gets him noticed.

“Everybody in the academy has been impressed with his mentality. The way he trains, he’s first on the pitch and last off.

“He’s desperate to do individual stuff and get better. He’s desperate to improve his weaknesses, is humble and works hard.

 “He’s a good character. Not just the talent that you see on the pitch but characteristics we try to instil in the boys in terms of humility and seeing the goodness in teamwork and Braiden has embraced that since he came over from Ireland.”
