Reserves boss John McMahon admits he is relishing the prospect of having Academy star Tom Ince at his disposal next season.
The livewire winger, who was in scintillating form for Rodolfo Borrell's U18s side throughout 2009-10, could make the step up to the Reds second string in the new campaign - and McMahon is confident Ince has a bright future ahead of him.
"Ince might be one of the lads who make the progression into the Reserves," McMahon told Liverpoolfc.tv.
"He's been terrific for the U18s and scored lots of goals. He is developing all the time and looks a good prospect."
McMahon believes the arrival of new faces into his squad from the Academy can provide his charges with fresh impetus.
As well as Ince, the Reserves boss expects to see youngsters Conor Coady, Jack Robinson and John Flanagan feature more regularly for his side in 2010-11 after the trio all turned out for the second string last term.
He added: "You might see a bit more of the likes of Conor Coady and Jack Robinson, as well as John Flanagan who has stepped up, done really well and made a positive impression.
"The enthusiasm (of new Academy graduates) is good. It gives us more bodies and another challenge to see how they fit in and go on to progress. It always freshen things up.
"It's good for them to make the step up and it's good for us to get fresh faces and see how they react to what we're trying to teach them."
