New Contract For Agard – News Archive – News – evertonfc.com – The Official Website of Everton Football Club
Always baffled how little this lad is mentioned. Always stood out for me when I've watched the reserves.
Have high hopes for the lad.
Kieran Agard has signed a new two-year deal at Everton.
The striker, now 19, has progressed through the Everton ranks after joining from Arsenal as a 16-year-old.
He was named on the substitutes bench for the first team on three occasions last season.
Agard was prolific for the Blues' Under-18 side after his arrival and soon moved into the reserve squad. He was the second string's player of the season last term.
The pacy frontman travelled with the first-team squad to Switzerland last summer and now has the chance to stake his claim again this pre-season.
"I'm absolutely delighted," he told evertonTV with the ink still drying on his deal.
"Two years is a good amount of time to show what I can do and hopefully I can give the manager food for thought.
"It was great to be named Reserve Player of the Year last season and I've had time to go away and reflect with my family on the good bits and bad bits.
"I know what I need to do and I'm looking forward to it."
