Tom Clayton, Academy U16 assistant coach - Liverpool FC
Tom Clayton
Academy U16 assistant coach

Tom Clayton returned to the Liverpool FC Academy in the summer of 2025 as U16 coach, assisting Lewis Nightingale.
He had previously been on the Reds' books from the age of seven until 21, playing anywhere for the team, mainly in central defence and midfield.
During his time at the club, Clayton captained the U18s and U21s sides and lifted the Lancashire Senior Cup with the latter under Barry Lewtas.
In 2022, he left Liverpool to pursue a career in the Football League with Swindon Town.
Clayton proved to be a popular figure at Swindon but injuries would restrict his game time, before he came back to Merseyside in a new coaching role.
