After arriving at Liverpool from Leicester and West Ham last year, Trey Nyoni and Amara Nallo signed off the season with another trophy.
There were high hopes for Nyoni, 16, and Nallo, 17, when they moved to Merseyside last summer, but few would have predicted they would progress so quickly.
After initially featuring for the U18s, both quickly made the step up to the U21s, with Nyoni making his first-team debut in February.
Nyoni spent much of the campaign training with Jurgen Klopp’s senior side, while Nallo was later brought into the fold and even featured in the matchday squad on two occasions.
It couldn’t have gone much better for the pair, who have also become regulars with England U18s – with their final games of the season coming for the Young Lions.

On Sunday, England secured the inaugural U18 trophy after victories over Northern Ireland and Morocco at St George’s Park.
Centre-back Nallo started and played the full 90 minutes in the decisive 2-1 win over Morocco, with Nyoni coming off the bench for the final 20 minutes.
They then helped lift the trophy, doing so alongside Jayden Danns when the U18s won the Pinatar Super Cup in March.
Nyoni won three trophies in three months and the midfielder was involved in the Carabao Cup celebrations in February.
The pair will now travel to the post-season break, before hoping to impress new head coach Arne Slot during pre-season training.
While there is no guarantee that Slott and his staff will include the pair in the same way they have under Klopp, they are regarded as two of the biggest talents in the academy and will almost certainly be involved.
However, none of them could be U21 players when the new head coach names his Champions League squad.
UEFA rules stipulate that to be listed on List B – which allows an unlimited number of players aged 21 or under to complete the first team – players must have been on the club’s books for at least two years.
