"Leaving the club that brought you through its academy and gave you your first break in senior football is never an easy decision, let alone when you've played a part in delivering multiple trophies. But former Liverpool goalkeeper Caiomhin Kelleher admits that his decision was made very straightforward for him in the end when he opted to join Brentford this summer. The arrival of Giorgi Mamardashvili threatened to push Kelleher down to third choice, prompting him to take up a big-money move when the London side came knocking."
"Kelleher made 67 appearances in all competitions for Liverpool from 2019 to 2025, and particularly impressed when given the opportunity in cup and continental competition. His good record in penalty shootouts proved particularly useful for Liverpool in those competitions, with Kelleher helping Liverpool to the FA Cup in 2022 and the League Cup in 2022 and and 2024 - but he managed just 25 league appearances, usually when first choice Alisson was ruled out injured."
Caoimhin Kelleher progressed through Liverpool’s academy from age 16 and spent around five years with the first-team squad. He made 67 appearances in all competitions between 2019 and 2025, excelling in cup and continental matches and earning a reputation for penalty shootout performance. Kelleher contributed to Liverpool’s FA Cup win in 2022 and League Cup wins in 2022 and 2024, but managed only 25 league appearances, typically deputising when Alisson was injured. The arrival of Giorgi Mamardashvili risked pushing him to third choice, prompting a big-money move to Brentford to secure regular football.
