Alexander-Arnold joined Liverpool's academy in 2004 and captained the club across its youth levels.
In domestic football, he won the 2019-20 PFA Young Player of the Year and the inaugural Premier League Young Player of the Season awards, has twice been named in the PFA Team of the Year, and helped end Liverpool's 30-year league title drought by winning the 2019-20 Premier League.
During his time in Liverpool's academy Alexander-Arnold converted from a wide midfielder to a right-back.
Having previously taken part in Liverpool's pre-season tour of the United States, Alexander-Arnold made his professional debut on 25 October 2016, starting in a 2-1 victory over Tottenham Hotspur in the fourth round of the EFL Cup.
Alexander-Arnold's breakthrough into the first team was rewarded with a new long-term contract in November and he started in Liverpool's next EFL Cup match later that month against Leeds United.
In May, having made 12 appearances across all competitions, he was named Liverpool's Young Player of the Season and was also nominated for the Premier League 2 Player of the Season award.
He became the third youngest player to score on his European debut for Liverpool, after Michael Owen and David Fairclough.
He then scored his first Premier League goal for Liverpool on Boxing Day, netting in a 5-0 win over Swansea City at Anfield.
He retained his position in Liverpool's starting line-up to become the youngest English player to start in a Champions League quarter-final match and performed strongly in a 3-0 win over English rivals Manchester City in April.
He impressed again in the reverse fixture as Liverpool eliminated City 5-1 on aggregate to advance to the semi-finals of the competition for the first time in 10 years.
On 10 May, his domestic and European form was rewarded when he won the Liverpool Young Player of the Season award for the second season running.
Tasked with marking Cristiano Ronaldo, he performed admirably though Liverpool ultimately succumbed to a 3-1 defeat.
During the early stages of the following season, he made his 50th appearance for Liverpool when he started in a 2-1 victory over Tottenham; the same opposition against whom he had made his debut almost two years prior.
His domestic form was rewarded later in April when he was nominated for the PFA Young Player of the Year award, although the award was won by Manchester City's Sterling, and he was later named in the PFA Team of the Year alongside Liverpool teammates van Dijk, Mané and Andrew Robertson.
Three days later, with Liverpool trailing Barcelona 3-0 on aggregate after a first-leg defeat, he recorded two more assists, including an "Instinctive corner" for Origi's winning goal, to help the club to a 4-3 aggregate victory and progress to a second consecutive Champions League final.
Alexander-Arnold began the 2019-20 campaign with his position as Liverpool's right-back cemented, and provided the assist for Origi's goal in the club's 4-1 opening game win over Norwich City.
He became only the eighth player in the Premier League era to register an assist in five consecutive games, and the first to do so for Liverpool.
He appeared in subsequent wins over Southampton and Arsenal, as well as in Liverpool's triumph over Chelsea in the UEFA Super Cup where he scored a penalty in the shoot-out.
He then scored his first goal of the season during Liverpool's 2-1 league win over the Blues from a set-piece routine that was later nominated for the Premier League Goal of the Month award.
The following month, he was nominated for the 2019 Ballon d'Or award, alongside six of his Liverpool teammates.
On 2 November, at the age of 21 years and 26 days, he became the fourth-youngest player to reach 100 appearances for Liverpool, behind Owen, Sterling and Fowler, and marked the occasion by assisting Mané for the winning goal in a 2-1 victory over Aston Villa.
He then made his FIFA Club World Cup debut during Liverpool's 2-1 semi-final win over reigning CONCACAF champions Monterrey, and provided the match-winning assist for Roberto Firmino in stoppage time after coming on as a substitute for James Milner.
Three days later, he started and played the full 120 minutes as Liverpool were crowned champions for the first time in the club's history following a 1-0 win after extra time over Copa Libertadores champions Flamengo.
Upon returning from Qatar, Liverpool recorded a 4-0 league win over second-placed Leicester City during a match in which Alexander-Arnold played a hand in all four goals by scoring one, assisting two, and winning a penalty which was converted by Milner.
Alexander-Arnold then played a starring role in Liverpool's 2-1 win over Wolves as the club extended their unbeaten run in the league to 40 matches.
The season was temporarily suspended between March and June due to the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, following which Alexander-Arnold helped Liverpool win their first league title in 30 years, and their first in the Premier League era.
Alexander-Arnold continued to feature prominently for Liverpool during the 2020-21 campaign and, on 9 December, became the youngest-ever player to captain the club in European competition, and third-youngest in any competition, when he donned the armband during the Reds' 1-1 Champions League draw against FC Midtjylland.
As a result, his performances came under intense scrutiny following the international break and he was criticised for making defensive errors during Liverpool's 3-1 defeat to Real Madrid in the Champions League.
The following month, he recorded back-to-back assists in victories away to Manchester United, where Liverpool won for the first time in seven years, and West Bromwich Albion, where his 94th-minute corner was headed home by goalkeeper Alisson to keep the club's hopes of qualifying for the following season's Champions League alive.
On 30 July, Alexander-Arnold signed a new long-term contract with Liverpool.
On 16 December, Alexander-Arnold scored Liverpool's third goal in a 3-1 home win against Newcastle United with a 25 yard strike into the top left corner of the goal in what was Liverpool's 2000th top-flight win, the first club in English history to reach this landmark.
He did not feature at the tournament itself as Liverpool reached an agreement with England to rest him ahead of the following season's league campaign, but the Three Lions went on to defeat Portugal in the final to claim their first ever title in the competition.
And at the age of 20 years and 39 days, he became the youngest Liverpool player since Michael Owen in 1999 to score for the national team.
He possesses an impressive passing range, which is attributed to his development as a midfielder during his time in Liverpool's youth academy, and has been one of Liverpool's designated set-piece specialists for deadball situations since the 2017-18 campaign.
World Cup winner Cafu has heaped praise on the defender, saying "He's a sensational player, a rare talent. He's technically brilliant, he has so much quality. He has a Brazilian style of play. I love watching him play. And playing in such a great team will help him grow." Lionel Messi has called him "Impressive" and remarked "[He is] the future, a fullback who is impressive going forward.
Under Liverpool manager Jürgen Klopp, whose tactical set-up placed creative responsibility on the shoulders of the club's full-backs, Alexander-Arnold was predominantly deployed down the right flank where his overlapping runs, switching of play, accuracy of crossing and work-rate in tracking back saw him become an important figure in the side's transitional, counter-attacking style of play.
During his time with Liverpool's academy, he and teammate Kris Owens pledged to support the initiative if either of them made it as professional footballers.
His philanthropy also expands beyond the charity and in March 2019, after signing a new boot sponsorship with Under Armour he initiated plans to purchase plots in Liverpool and use the funds to construct new pitches for the community.
In 2020, he and fellow Liverpool full-back Andrew Robertson starred in their own digital series on IGTV called Wingmen.
In domestic football, he won the 2019-20 PFA Young Player of the Year and the inaugural Premier League Young Player of the Season awards, has twice been named in the PFA Team of the Year, and helped end Liverpool's 30-year league title drought by winning the 2019-20 Premier League.
