The highly-rated England youngster stalled on signing a professional contract at Manchester City.

Bobby Duncan is better known for being the cousin of ex-Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard. Today the 17-year-old has followed in Gerrard's footsteps by joining the 'Reds'. 

Duncan had spent the previous six years at Manchester City, though was not involved with the 'Citizens' due to the stalled contract negotiations. The lifelong Liverpool fan spent the end of last season training with the first-team at Wigan Athletic. 

The teenager has been particularly key in the England youth set-up, being the first player in history to score a hat-trick for England against Brazil in a 4-3 win for the U16s.
