Today’s Main LFC Headline
Kelleher has officially completed an £18 million move for Brentford, in a transfer that feels perfect for all parties.
Speaking to the Bees’ website about his move to west London, the 26-year-old gave his reasoning for leaving Liverpool.
“I don’t think it was very difficult for me to leave [Liverpool],” Kelleher said.
"Once I knew Brentford was in for me it was definitely one I was really excited about" ?

“I felt for my own career that the time was right for me to go, to be a no.1 and to play every week.
“I heard of some interest a number of weeks ago. Once I knew Brentford was in for me, it was definitely one I was really excited about and wanted to do as quickly as possible.”
We wish Caoimhin well in his next chapter – what a brilliant No. 2 he has been for Liverpool.
