Andre Alexander Shaquille Wisdom (born 9 May 1993) is an English footballer who plays as a defender for Austrian club Red Bull Salzburg on loan from Liverpool.
Wisdom began his career at Bradford City before signing for Liverpool in 2008. He has also played for and captained the England youth teams at various levels, winning the UEFA European U-17 Championship in 2010.
Wisdom was born to Jamaican parents in Leeds, West Yorkshire, and grew up in Chapeltown. He excelled in the junior teams and regularly played a year above his year group up to the under-15s. He signed for Liverpool as a fourteen-year-old in January 2008 for what his Bantams youth team manager Peter Horne implied was an unprecedented fee for a League Two youngster. It is believed that City will receive further fees depending on his success at the Premier League club. Bradford also receive a fee each time that Wisdom plays for Liverpool.
Wisdom progressed through the youth teams at Liverpool before featuring for the club's reserve team. In September 2010, manager Roy Hodgson called up Wisdom to his first team squad for the League Cup match versus League Two side Northampton Town. He was rewarded for his progress with an extension to his contract by newly appointed manager Kenny Dalglish in the summer of 2011.
The appointment of Brendan Rodgers in June 2012 would be Wisdom's fourth manager during his time at Anfield and would present him with a fresh opportunity to stake a claim in the first team. In September, Wisdom would travel with several other Liverpool youngsters to Switzerland for their Europa League group tie versus Young Boys. He was named in the starting line-up and scored on his debut as the Reds ran out 5–3 winners on the night. His impressive performance in Europe would lead to further opportunities for him in the first team in the following weeks; starting in the 2–1 victory over West Bromwich Albion in the League Cup on 26 September and making his Premier League debut from the start three days later in the 5–2 win away to Norwich City. He retained his place in the first-team for the following month, making his first appearance at Anfield in a goalless draw with Stoke City in doing so. He was handed his first taste of a Merseyside derby for the 2–2 draw at Everton on 28 October 2012.
