Early career

Randall was born and raised in Melling, Merseyside. He attended Melling Primary School and Maghull High School. Randall played for Waddicar Dolphins (managed by his father) from a young age and it was there at the age of six he was spotted and signed for Liverpool; during his academy career, Randall captained the Under-18s and was a regular for the under-21 team from 2013.[3][4]

On 17 January 2015, he was loaned out to League Two side Shrewsbury Town on a one-month loan deal.[5] He made his Shrewsbury Town debut on 14 February as a 90th-minute substitute, replacing Jermaine Grandison, in a 2–0 win against AFC Wimbledon at the New Meadow[6] which proved to be the only appearance of his loan.

On 9 December 2015, Randall signed a contract extension with Liverpool.[11] On 17 April 2016, he made his Premier League debut for the club, where Liverpool won 2–1 against Bournemouth.[12][13]

On 28 July 2017, Randall was loaned to Scottish Premiership side Heart of Midlothian until the end of the season.[14] The following season on 23 August 2018, he joined Rochdale on loan until January 2019.[15]
