Luke Butterfield has signed a new deal with Everton to 2025.
A technical central midfielder with a strong work-ethic and varied passing range, Butterfield explained how Everton's track record for developing young talent and providing a pathway to the First Team was central in his decision to commit his future to the Club.
The 19-year-old Scotland youth international told evertonfc.com: “It's a great feeling to sign this deal.
“I've seen past players at Everton get to my position and then progress to where I want to be in the future.
“All the staff have been so helpful in my time here. The support has been excellent, both on and off the pitch. The Club helped me a lot in moving away from home early, providing digs for me to stay in and all my transport. I can't be more grateful to them.
“Now, I just want to play as many games as possible for the Under-21s, then hopefully get in and around the First Team and maybe even get minutes."
