Liam joined the club in June 2022. Edwards arrived from EFL League One side Bolton Wanderers, having impressed on-loan during 2021/22 in the National League North with Southport – his second spell on a temporary basis with the Sandgrounders.

From Crewe, Liam started his career at Stoke City – before moving to the Trotters and being named their U23’s Captain. The physical centre back progressed to make six senior appearances in the third tier for Bolton.

Edwards was solid at the heart of the defence in his 30 games played for the Blues in 2022/23, and was quick to sign up for the new season.
