Rushden and Diamonds striker Lee Tomlin is to join Liverpool on trial.

The 17-year-old made his League debut in October when only 16, has started only four games for Rushden and is still awaiting his first senior goal. He has been a revelation for the Nene Park side since making the step up from the youth academy to the first team squad last October.

Say R&D assistant manager Geoff Harrop: "He's a goalscorer, there's no doubt about that. He's sharp in the box and he gets into the right positions, he has great awareness and this is a good opportunity for him to show that at the highest level."
