The goalkeeper, who joined the Reds at Under-10s level, completed his switch to the Scottish Premiership outfit after being deemed surplus to requirements at Anfield.

Liverpool’s senior keepers Simon Mignolet and Loris Karius are understudied by Danny Ward, who made a huge impact on loan last season at Premier League new boys Huddersfield.

Born in Burnley, Fulton is regarded as a rising star of Scottish football after accumulating four Scotland Under-21 caps.

He spent the 2016-17 season on loan at League One club Chesterfield, where he made 29 appearances, 26 of which came in league fixtures.

Fulton also had a spell on loan at Portsmouth in the second half of 2015-16, when they were in League Two.

Liverpool released a statement on their official website in which they wished Fulton “the best of luck” at new club Hamilton.
