SCOTLAND footie ace Ben Doak bought a house worth almost £400,000, set up a business with his mum and treated himself to a BMW — all before he turned 19.

The teen snapped up the five-bedroom home in his hometown of Dalry, Ayrshire, eight months before he shone for the national team.

Liverpool player Doak, who is on loan this season at Championship side Middlesbrough, has also recently revealed his motoring background.

In a quiz on Middlesbrough’s media channels, Ben told teammate Tommy Conway his first car had been a BMW.

He has scored twice in 19 appearances so far this season for Middlesbrough.

Last night a source said: "Ben is only a young lad but he is already making smart moves when it comes to his home life.

"It’s good that he has his mum behind him all the way to make sure he keeps on the right track — on and off the field."

Doak scored for Liverpool’s under-19s in a 4-3 win over Rangers’ youth team in 2022.
