He was frustrated by not getting a job and tweeted this on 18th Aug 2012.
He wondered what he wanted to do with his career, having been let go three years before by Celtic’s youth team.

After all the hard work, In 2013 – Dundee united came with him an offer that will make him stop doing all the side gigs.
In 2014, He got a chance to play with Hull City in the Premier League.

He was signed by Liverpool for £8M in 2017.
His willingness to press with the good attributes of pace, strength, & stamina made him a perfect fit for Klopp’s new-look Liverpool.
With Klopp signing Trent Alexander Arnold from the youth team of Liverpool and Virgil Van Dijk from Southampton, Liverpool became a serious contender in the Champions League and Premier League.
