OXFORD City have signed winger Jack Bearne, who scored 15 goals and grabbed 20 assists last season.
Bearne, who signed for Liverpool aged 15, joins from Hednesford Town.
He played once for the Anfield club, coming off the bench in a 5-0 Carabao Cup quarter-final defeat at Aston Villa in December 2019.
Bearne also spent time on loan at Kidderminster Harriers, winning promotion from the Vanarama National League North via the play-offs.
After being released by Liverpool, Bearne has since played for Scottish Championship side Greenock Morton and Hednesford, where he won another promotion, this time in the Northern Premier League West Division.

Bearne told the Hoops website: “As soon as the gaffer spoke to me about the project and the identity of the club, it definitely made my mind up about coming and being a part of it.
“This is a brand new exciting challenge for me this season and I can’t wait to get started.
“I like to think I’m a player that gets the fans off their seat, so hopefully I’ll be able to put in some good performances and earn their respect.”
Hoops manager Ross Jenkins added: “I’m thrilled to get Jack on board for this season. Jack’s got a great attitude and desire to do well, which reflected in his performances and contributions in goals and assists last season at Hednesford. I’m delighted and excited to see him link up with the team.”
