Republic of Ireland Under-21 international Trent Kone-Doherty has ended a four-year stay with Liverpool by joining Norwegian club Molde, subject to international clearance.

The 19-year-old, capped at every underage level for Ireland and with three U-21 caps since making his bow last September, has signed in a deal worth a reported €750,000.

Kone-Doherty joined from Derry City in 2022 and did enough to catch Jurgen Klopp's attention when he was invited to train with the first-team squad when the German was in charge.

A regular for the Liverpool Under-21 side, he has made two senior appearances under Arne Slot, the most recent coming in the League Cup against Crystal Palace last October.

His contract was due to run out in the summer but Molde have decided to act now to secure the winger’s services.

"It’s the perfect club for me to come to," Kone-Doherty said. "I like the project I’ve been presented with here and I’m really excited to get started."
