A former academy scholar at Bromley, he
signed first team forms in September 2020.
The talented forward was part of the
club’s successful academy in conjunction with The Ravensbourne School and featured
in the Professional Development Under-23 side and last season in the senior
team.
The 18-year-old, who has penned a
three-year deal with Pompey, first came to the attention of manager Danny
Cowley when he played against them for Bromley in the FA Youth Cup.
Cowley told his club`s website: “We are
delighted to sign Liam on a development contract.
“He has subsequently made a number of
first team appearances at National League level, playing a part in helping
Bromley reach the play-offs.
“While there was lots of interest from
a number of Premier League and Championship clubs, he believed Pompey to be the
right club for his continued development. Having played senior football
already, he wanted to go into a first team environment.
“The recruitment team identified Liam
and watched him play for both the youth and first teams at Bromley.
“He has a lovely left foot and
excellent physical attributes. Offensively, he carries real threat with ball
carrying skills and crossing ability. He is also a set-piece taker.
“He has work to do on the defensive
aspect of his game and we look forward to working with him on the training
ground to develop this area of his performance.
"While there was lots of interest
from a number of Premier League and Championship clubs, he believed Pompey to
be the right club for his continued development."
