Everton Youth Teams Thread

Good spot, I guess he made a good impression in that trial game he played for us . A low risk deal . The new Scholars should be announced early July.

I see Jack Barrett is included, I’m sure I read somewhere he’d been let go ?

I think it was safely assumed he would be gone given his contract was up and he was shipped to Canada. But I've just gone back and looked and he wasn't mentioned at all in any of the released articles to say whether he would be released or offered a new contract. The only other player like that was Mallon who's now disappeared from the site and confirmed gone so I can only assume that we have in fact signed him back up.

Can only guess it would mean Crellin 3rd choice, loans for Tyrer, Barnsley and Leban. Pickford bumped up to 21s, Lukjanciks or the trialist as the 18s keeper with Barrett filling in when needed.

Looks like we've signed Omari Benjamin as rumoured: https://www.evertonfc.com/teams/u21

Does he deserve his own thread?

Best check with @Eggs

Edit: On a serious note, probably not. Would be surprised if he's making an impact with the first team this season.

So then - who are we expecting to be on the periphery of the first team next season? Dixon? Mills?

….I think pre-season is vital for the youngsters. Dobbin got himself involved by impressing, there’s an opportunity for somebody, maybe even the likes of Ebere from U18s.

Thought they’d announced Ndiaye for a second! would be great if one of these prospects made the step up.

Him, Loney and Graham is a strong boost to the attacking pipeline already this summer.

Jack Barrett wasn't on the retained list filed with the premier league so he has probably gone. Billy Crellin is 24, amazing he is still included in the under 21 list. Mind you Dele is still on the main list.
