Everton midfielder Liam Higgins has signed a new one-year deal to 2023.
Wales U19 international Higgins, who is comfortable operating from the left or right flank and at full-back, is now targeting a regular place in Paul Tait's Under-21s starting XI in 2022/23.
He told the club's website: “From a young age, I've had a dream of becoming a professional footballer and it means so much for that to become a reality.
“This is a huge club that has produced so many brilliant players. After a tough couple of years through injuries, this is an opportunity to show the quality I can produce and repay the faith the Club has shown in me.
“I'm looking forward to working with Paul Tait again, someone who has given me massive support since I joined Everton.
“He's a great person and the confidence he gives you allows you to perform.
“Whether I'm playing on the wing in the attacking third or as full-back, to get back onto the pitch will feel great.
“I'm looking forward to working hard and showing what I can do."
