He was first called up to the senior squad for their 2015 summer tour of Asia prior to the 2015–16 season.[citation needed] He was made Liverpool's third-choice keeper, behind Simon Mignolet and Ádám Bogdán, after fellow reserve shot stoppers Danny Ward and Lawrence Vigouroux were sent out on loan.[citation needed]
