Teenager Tom Davies signs new five-year contract at Everton

Tom Davies pens new Everton contract

Teenage Everton midfielder Tom Davies has signed a new five-year contract at Goodison Park.

The 18-year-old, who made his senior debut off the substitutes' bench in April, appears to be in manager Ronald Koeman's plans as he has put pen to paper on a deal until 2021.

Davies has also started in three of Everton's pre-season friendlies, showing his versatility by playing at right-back and in the middle.

"It's great motivation knowing I'll be here for five years and that I can really push on and hopefully develop to become a really good player for the team and go on to do really well," Davies told evertontv.

"Coming back from the off-season and going straight back with the first team has been a good insight for me into what's required of me for the season and to be around the players, play as much as I have and train with them, it's been vital for my progression as a player.

"I just want to become a regular first, that's something I am going to work towards and hopefully with the help of the staff and learning from other players I can get there."

The midfielder, who was recruited by Everton's academy at age 11, will wear the number 26 shirt next season.
