Career
Mabaya joined Liverpool’s youth ranks as a six-year-old. However, due to injury problems, his progress to the first team was slow.
He stepped up from the U16s to the U18s during the 2020/21 season.
Though he is a natural midfielder, Isaac Mabaya was used as a right-back on a number of occasions during the 2021/22 season, and his ability to drive past players with pace and power made him a standout.
It is this versatility that saw Vitor Matos recommend Mabaya to Jurgen Klopp, with both Trent Alexander-Arnold and Neco Williams ruled out for the FA Cup tie.
Mabaya signed his first professional contract with the club in September 2021.[2]
