Former Liverpool footballers Jamie Carragher and Robbie Fowler have teamed up to operate the sports facilities at the club’s former training ground, allowing part of the site to be retained for community use under Torus’s plans to redevelop the area for housing.
The Fowler-Carragher Academy will take on the running of the existing sports centre, while two Olympians, gymnast Beth Tweddle and swimmer Steve Parry, will run activities for local children from a grassroots sports hub at the facility.
“Partnering with Torus to kick off the new chapter in Melwood’s history was a natural fit for the Fowler-Carragher Academy and our mission to give local kids and young people opportunities to aspire and succeed,” Fowler and Carragher said. Combined, Carragher and Fowler made more than 1,000 appearances for Liverpool.
