In an interview with Liverpool.com, Kone-Doherty, which dates from the county of Derry in Northern Ireland, explained how his trip to Angeldd was interrupted with difficulties when he was responsible for leaving his hometown shortly shortly After his 17th birthday.
“This is something I knew that it would happen,” Kons-Doherty said and discussed his change in 2022 in Liverpool.

But I think I’m used to it now and I like the change. Obviously Liverpool are one of the biggest clubs in Europe, so it’s still fantastic to wear that shirt.
