Ben Woodburn reflected on his breakthrough season at Liverpool and insisted: “I’ve had a taste and I’m hungry for more.”

The 17-year-old attacker was crowned Academy Players’ Player of the Year at the club’s glittering awards ceremony at Anfield on Tuesday night.

It’s been a campaign to cherish for Woodburn, who made the leap into Jurgen Klopp’s first-team squad and wrote his name in the record books.

He became the youngest goalscorer in the club’s history when he netted against Leeds United at Anfield in the EFL Cup last November.

“It means a lot to me because I’ve had a hard season,” Woodburn told the ECHO.

“I’ve been working all season just to be my best and play my best and hopefully it has shown.

“If someone had told me in August I’d be here winning this award I’d have bitten their hand off. I think it has been a good season for me and hopefully next season will be just as good if not better.

“I’ve had a taste and like everyone would do I just want as much as I can of it.”

Woodburn, who also received a maiden call-up to the senior Wales squad, has clocked up eight first-team appearances for the Reds.

The undoubted highlight of the year was that emphatic finish in front of the Kop against Leeds. Aged just 17 years and 45 days, he shattered a record previously held by Michael Owen.

“There have been a lot of good points in my season but obviously that would be the stand-out one because it was a massive achievement for me,” he added.

“I’ve learned so much, there’s not really one little thing but I’d say just try to be yourself.

“It is obviously different and a big step up but the first team lads made it so much easier for me. They are so good with all the young kids and they made it feel normal.”
