John Achterberg is to leave his role as goalkeeper coach at Tranmere Rovers to take up a similar position at Liverpool.

John has been at Tranmere for 11 years as a player and coach, making more than 300 appearances, and he will join up with former Rovers assistant manager John McMahon who recently was appointed reserve coach at Liverpool.

Chief Executive Mick Horton said: "John has been a great servant to the Club both as a player and a coach over the last 11 years.

"We wish John all the very best in the future for his new role and he is welcome back at Prenton Park any time."
