We are used to Norwegian players disappearing from the Eliteserien into football Europe, in recent years we have also experienced a steady influx of foreign players who gravitate to Norwegian clubs. On Friday, a very exciting reinforcement came to Molde.
He is 19 years young, but has played in two games in Liverpool’s first team. His debut came in an FA Cup match against Plymouth in 2025. Now the Irish U21 international Trent Koné-Doherty has signed a contract until 2029 with Molde.

“It’s the perfect club for me to come to. I like the project I’ve been presented with here and I’m very excited to get started,” Trent told the club’s website.
As a 13-year-old, he was brought to the academy of Derry City, then it was Liverpool from the summer of 2022. As a 15-year-old, he trained with Derry City’s first team, and in recent years he has distinguished himself as one of the most exciting talents in Liverpool’s academy.
So it builds up great expectations for Molde’s new signing.
“Trent is a technically good and fast winger who through his time at Liverpool has shown his skills and not least potential in the final third. At the same time, he has intensity and pressure in the game that benefits the team both with and without the ball, sports director Ole Jakob Strandhagen begins to the club’s website.

“He is well educated at Liverpool, and we are very happy that he has chosen Molde as the next step in his development. The process has been good and we thank Liverpool for a good negotiating climate, despite the fact that they also had a strong desire to keep Trent. We look forward to further developing his offensive qualities at Aker Stadion and in the Eliteserien, concludes Molde’s sports director.
Congratulations!
