Career
Non-League career
Born in Hull, Liversedge joined Darlington in November 2007, after progressing through Rotherham United's Centre of Excellence. He spent the 2008–09 season on loan to Whitby Town, making 30 appearances for the non-League club. He made his senior debut on 6 October 2009 against Leeds United in a Football League Trophy game but the game ended on a sour note when he was sent off for bringing down Leeds United player Enoch Showunmi.
He was released by the club following their relegation from League 2, along with 13 other players. Liversedge was announced as a Whitby Town player at the club's AGM on Friday 25 June 2010 by club chairman Graham Manser after a successful loan spell in the 2008–2009 season
On 30 April 2012 Liversedge played as a trialist for Burnley reserves in a 3–1 over Tranmere.
Burnley
On 10 May 2013, over a year since his first trial for Burnley reserves, it was confirmed that Liversedge would join the Championship side on a free transfer after the Lancashire Club released both Brian Jensen and Lee Grant at the end of the 2012–13 season.
Loan to Hyde
On 20 September 2013, Liversedge joined Conference Premier side Hyde on a one-month loan deal, to cover for Hyde's injured first choice goalkeeper David Carnell. He made his Hyde debut just a day later in a 1–0 defeat to Welling United at Ewen Fields.
Return to non-league
At the end of the 2013–14 season, Liversedge was released by Burnley following their promotion to the Premier League, having never made a first team appearance for the club. He subsequently joined Northern Football League Division One side Guisborough Town on a free transfer. He joined Shildon in the 2016 close season.
