A TEENAGER has achieved his dream by being signed by a professional football club.
Liam Shipton, 16, of Oughtrington Crescent, Lymm, has a two year contract with Blue Square Conference side Wrexham. As part of the deal he will study for one and a half days a week at a college in Mold for a BTEC in Sport.
Liam, a former pupil of Lymm High School, previously played for the school and for Woolston Rovers.
His dad Dave, who teaches karate at the school, said: “It is fantastic news that he has been signed.
“We have been trailing round to the football academies, Liverpool, Everton, United etc, since he was seven. All his hard work has paid off and we are all pleased for him.”
