Conor Masterson (born 8 September 1998) is an Irish footballer who plays for Premier League club Liverpool.[2]

Originally from County Kildare,[3] he played for Lucan United before making a move to Liverpool for £900,000, signing on his 16th birthday.[4]

He made his U18s debut in 2014–15. A Republic of Ireland youth international, Masterson captained the under-18s and was an unused sub for Liverpool in their FA Cup tie at Exeter City in January 2016.[5] He moved to the U23s squad ahead of the 2017–18 season.[6]

He was named on the bench for Liverpool’s UEFA Champions League 3–0 quarter final victory against Manchester City on 4 April 2018.[7] Liverpool manager Jürgen Klopp commented upon the confidence Masterson showed when he was informed he would be involved in the match day squad, reportedly informing Klopp that he was “ready”.[8] He was named in Liverpool’s Premier League squad for the match against Everton on 7 April 2018 and was included on the substitutes' bench.[9]
