Liverpool supporters will be very proud of a certain Conor Coady.
The Liverpool-born defender quit the Anfield outfit eight years ago to join Huddersfield Town in a £500,000 deal [The Daily Mail].
Brendan Rodgers was Reds’ manager at the time and Coady’s first-team prospects weren’t looking all that promising.
So the 28-year-old elected to leave in search of first-team football.
And boy did that work out well for the powerful central defender.
On Saturday, the Kirkby product made his 300th competitive appearance for Wolverhampton Wanderers.
The Molineux club suffered a 1-0 FA Cup defeat at home to Norwich City.
It was a disappointing afternoon overall for Wolves and no doubt a personality like Coady will have been far more upset at the result than he was happy about his own milestone.
However, the St Helens-born stalwart has shown remarkable resilience to bounce back after leaving Liverpool originally.
Whenever a youth product leaves their boyhood club it’s always such a difficult mission to thrive, but Coady has done just that.
You couldn’t exactly criticise Rodgers for selling Coady, given the options that Liverpool had available at that time.
And it’s doubtful that he would’ve been a regular starter under Jurgen Klopp at Anfield, either.
But that doesn’t detract from the simple fact that he has proven himself a brilliant Premier League defender and, at 28, is still very much in the prime of a career that Liverpool supporters will be proud of.
