Liverpool youngster Tom Brewitt is on trial at League One side Chesterfield – despite having penned a new long-term deal at Anfield during the summer.
Brewitt was one of three trailists to feature for Chesterfield reserves in their 3-0 win over Rotherham United last night.
Under the terms of his trial, the 19-year-old centre-back can train with the Spireites and is allowed to feature in non-first team games.
Toxteth-born Brewitt, who has been at Anfield since he was 11 and has previously captained the under-18s side, signed a new Reds contract in the summer with Liverpool keen to protect their investment in the player.

He was named in the first-team squad for the away fixture at Arsenal in April 2015 and has represented England at youth level.
However, since stepping up to U23 level Brewitt has found his chances limited with the centre-back roles regularly filled by Mamadou Sakho, Tiago Ilori or 18-year-old Republic of Ireland youth international Corey Whelan.
