1999

Liam Alan Millar (born September 27, 1999) is a Canadian professional soccer player who plays as an attacking midfielder or left winger for EFL Championship club Preston North End, on loan from Swiss Super League club Basel, and the Canada national team.

He featured in the youth ranks of Brampton Youth SC and North Mississauga SC before moving to England to join Fulham Academy aged 13.

2016

After three years with Fulham, he joined the Liverpool Academy in 2016.

Millar was born in Toronto and raised in Brampton and Oakville.

He moved to England at the age of 13 for footballing purposes.

He began playing soccer at age four with Brampton YSC.

Afterwards he played with North Mississauga SC and Burlington YSC.

His father played for Charlton Athletic and is an electrician who works on television series, including Game of Thrones.

Millar began his career with Brampton Youth SC at the age of four.

After two years he joined North Mississauga SC and remained at the club until his move to England.

He joined Fulham at the age of 13 but felt he struggled to adapt to English football.

On moving to England, Millar said "It took me a while to adjust to how English football is, it probably took me a good two-and-a-half years."

In July 2016, he joined Premier League club Liverpool on a free transfer with striking options limited in the Academy.

Millar scored four minutes into his Liverpool U18s career and marked his debut in the U18 Premier League with a hat-trick in a 4–0 victory against Blackburn Rovers U18s in August 2016.

2017

A month later, he signed a professional contract on his 17th birthday.

Injury ruled Millar out for three months of his inaugural season but a return in January saw him finish the season with six goals in 17 appearances in the U18 Premier League.

He featured in every game of Liverpool's 2017–18 UEFA Youth League campaign and scored twice in eight games.

2018

After 18 months under the guidance of Steven Gerrard in the Under-18s, Millar received his first call-up to the Under-23 squad in January 2018.

2019

On January 31, 2019, Millar signed a long-term first-team contract with Liverpool and joined Scottish Premiership side Kilmarnock on loan until the end of the 2018–19 season.

He made his debut on February 1 in a 2–1 loss to Heart of Midlothian.

He scored his first goal on March 11 against St Mirren.

He returned on loan to Kilmarnock in August 2019.

2020

He made his senior Liverpool debut on February 4, 2020, starting in the FA Cup fourth-round replay against Shrewsbury Town.

In mid-2020 Liverpool turned down multiple transfer offers for Millar, who received loan interest from clubs in the Championship and Bundesliga.

This loan period was cut short in January 2020 when he returned to his parent club.

On January 5, 2021, Millar completed his move to Charlton Athletic on loan until the end of the season.

He scored his first goal for Charlton on January 26 in a 1–0 league win over MK Dons.

Over the season he played 27 games for the club scoring two goals.

On 8 July 2021, Swiss Super League club Basel announced that they had signed Millar on a four-year deal until June 2025.

Liverpool confirmed the transfer the same day.

The transfer fee was reported to be £1.3 million, with a negotiated a 20 per cent sell-on clause.

Having completed medical checks on Tuesday, he signed his contract and joined the team on Thursday 8 July for their 2021–22 season under head coach Patrick Rahmen.
