Liverpool Football Club has struck a two-year co-operation agreement with League of Ireland club Bray Wanderers and St Joseph’s Boys.
The link up was announced prior to the reserves' clash with Bray this week.
Coaches from Liverpool will visit both clubs in Ireland to deliver training sessions and boost the development of young Irish talent.
The hope is that some will be good enough to progress into the Reds' ranks.
Boss Kenny Dalglish, who is a close friend of Bray boss Pat Devlin, said: “I've always had a close affinity to young Irish players.
Pat Devlin and I have been in close contact for some years and it's important for Liverpool to have close links with Ireland, Scotland and Northern Ireland.”
