Kelleher confesses uncertainty about club future after outlining Liverpool motivation

Caoimhin Kelleher is motivated to recapture the experiences of winning trophies at the top level, even if he admits he does not know what his Liverpool future holds.

Kelleher has served as Liverpool’s main backup goalkeeper behind Alisson Becker this season. While the number one made 52 appearances in all competitions, his Irish deputy featured eight times.

Although opportunities were still slim, it was the busiest season of Kelleher’s career yet. Furthermore, the 23-year-old now has five caps for the Republic of Ireland to his name.

He is unlikely to dislodge Alisson for the starting berth at Anfield any time soon. However, he was still able to show his impact along their journey to Carabao Cup success in particular.

Kelleher started the final against Chelsea in February and, after keeping a clean sheet, went on to score the winning penalty in the shootout. It was the first of two domestic honours Liverpool won during the season.

However, they ended the campaign by falling short in the Premier League and missing out on the Champions League trophy. Therefore, Kelleher has learned a lot of lessons, even without getting too much gametime.

Speaking while on international duty, he explained: “At club level, we won two trophies earlier on and then at the end of the season it wasn’t ideal.

“It taught me not to get too high on the highs and not too low on the lows, and stay on an even keel. It has given me good experiences to deal with situations like winning and coming down from a high and being on a low.”

Yet he is hoping to experience the highs again after reflecting on how special the Carabao Cup win was.

The Cork-born keeper said: “Obviously it was a special moment for me. To win a cup with such a big club like Liverpool
