In September 2012, Jerome Sinclair made his Reds debut at the age of 16 years and 6 days. Just over ten years after making his professional debut for the Premier League's biggest clubs, Sinclair's playing career now seems to be gone. It happened in a League Cup match away at West Brom, where Sinclair replaced Samed Yesil in a victory at the Hawthorns. 

Prior to transferring to Merseyside for £200,000, Sinclair graduated from the West Brom academy, While the rest of his family remained in Birmingham, he and his father relocated to Liverpool. He was promoted to the under-18s before moving up to the reserves shortly after spending the majority of the 2011–2012 season with the under-16s.

He created history at West Brom a week after playing in the under-19s' NextGen Series trip to Inter Milan, though he stated he had "no trepidation" about playing for the senior team, Sinclair has not forgotten about that particular occasion, "Everything took place really swiftly at the time, I was an 11th grader. In 2020, he said on the Football 25/8 YouTube channel, 

"My first session with the first team at Melwood was the finest I've ever had everything I touched was a goal, "I was so overjoyed to be there. I'm going to be up here more, Rodgers called and said, "I really like you." I later learned that I would be sitting out the game versus West Brom at the hotel." Many of the boys I played with that night were ball boys.

Sinclair received a warning from then-manager

I'll never forget the gaffer telling me, "You're coming on." At age 16, I was fearless after breaking history, Sinclair received a warning from then-manager Brendan Rodgers to make sure he did not waste his tremendous skill, "For Jerome, the challenging work now begins, being the youngest player and then leaving the game is useless. He's a good kid, and he's incredibly focused, which is fantastic.
