Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher has been appointed as an advisor to non-league club Marine, the Crosby-based side announced. The former defender, now a Sky Sports pundit, will assist the National League North club in its continued development.
Marine finished 12th in the 2025-26 season and have enjoyed recent success, including promotions in 2022 and 2024, a memorable FA Cup third-round tie against Tottenham, and a run to the FA Trophy semi-finals. The club is also planning a new stadium as part of its growth.
Carragher, a Crosby resident, said: 'Marine is a proper community football club with good people involved and a clear vision for where it wants to go. I’ve enjoyed watching the progress the club has made over recent years and I’m pleased to be able to support the club in an advisory capacity going forward.'
Chief executive James Leary welcomed the appointment, stating: 'This is a brilliant moment for Marine Football Club. Jamie is someone who genuinely cares about football and the local community, and he’s followed closely what we’ve been building here over the last few years. His experience and relationships will be a huge help to the club as we continue moving Marine forward over the coming years.'
Carragher retired from playing in 2013 after 737 appearances for Liverpool, winning the Champions League, two FA Cups, three League Cups, and the Uefa Cup. He now works as a pundit for Sky Sports and CBS Sports.
