LIVERPOOL, United Kingdom — Canadian international forward Liam Millar has signed a new deal with Liverpool and joined Scotland’s Kilmarnock on loan for the rest of the season.

The 19-year-old from Brampton, Ont., was Liverpool academy’s top scorer with 19 goals last season and has been a regular for the Reds’ under-19 and under-23 sides.

Millar has won four caps for Canada under coach John Herdman.

Kilmarnock (8-2-1) stands third in the Scottish Premier League behind leader Celtic and Rangers. Millar, who joined Liverpool in 2016, will work under former Liverpool coach Steve Clarke at the Scottish side.
