Reserve Liverpool Forward David Amoo joined League One club Bury on a one month loan on Friday. The 20-year-old could play for Bury as early as Saturday, when they host the MK Dons, Liverpoolfc.tv reports.
The speedy forward, who also plays on both wings, joined the Reds' academy in July 2007 from Milwall's youth setup for an undisclosed fee.
He spent two years in the LFC academy and played a key role in the team’s march to the 2009 FA Youth Cup final.
Amoo was promoted to the reserve team for the 2009-10 season, during which he played 16 games and scored three goals.
He signed a new two-year contract with Liverpool in the summer of 2010 and made his first-team debut in a Europa League qualifier against Macedonia’s Rabotnicki. He spent the rest of the fall in the reserves, before a January 2011 move to League One side MK Dons on a one month long loan. He played three games for the Dons during that spell.
He returned to the Reds' reserve squad for February and joined Championship side Hull City in March on a loan deal through the end of the season. He played seven games for the Tigers, scoring one goal.
The move to Bury will give Amoo much needed match experience. Young players cannot fully develop without playing games and, if he succeeds at Bury, he could join a Championship team on loan for a longer spell. If that goes well, a move to a Premiership team could be on offer for part of the 2011-12 season.
This best case scenario could have Amoo return to Liverpool in the summer of 2012 as a more seasoned professional, who can challenge for a place in the first team in the 2012-13 campaign.
