Morgan Marc Boyes (born 22 April 2001) is a Welsh footballer who plays as a defender for Liverpool.[3]

Early life[]

Boyes was born in the Welsh city of St Asaph and moved to Chester in England at the age of five.[4][5]

Club career[]

Boyes made his professional debut for Liverpool on 17 December 2019, starting in the away match against Aston Villa in the quarter-finals of the EFL Cup, which finished as a 5–0 loss. He scored an own goal in the match, after blocking a ball from Ahmed Elmohamady, to find it looped over the goalkeeper's head into the corner of the net.[3][6][7] Boyes made another appearance for Liverpool in the 2019–20 season, as he appeared in stoppage time against Shrewsbury Town in the fourth round replay of the FA Cup.[4]

On 12 August 2020, Boyes joined League One side Fleetwood Town on a season-long loan.[8] He was recalled on 2 January 2021.[9]

International career[]

Boyes has Wales caps at both under-19 and under-21 levels. In March 2021, he was called up to the Wales national under-21 football team,[10][11] playing all 90 minutes in Wales's 2–1 defeat by Ireland at Colliers Park, Wrexham on 26 March 2021.[12] Manager Paul Bodin then selected a largely unchanged squad, including Boyes, for the side's Euro 2023 qualifying game against Moldova on 4 June 2021.[13]
