Everton midfielder Tom Davies signs first professional deal at Goodison Park

Everton teenager Tom Davies has signed his first professional contract at the Merseyside club.

The 17-year-old midfielder has put pen to paper on a two-year deal following his progression with the Toffees Under-21 side.

Davies told Everton TV: "It's a great honour to sign my first contract, especially with Everton, a club that means so much to me.

"I've been here since I was in the Under-11s so that's around seven years now. It's been hard at times, but enjoyable and I'm very glad I'm still here.

"To sign my first contract is all I've ever wanted to be honest. To get it done is really exciting and allows me to push on for the future."

In addition to Everton, Davies also plays for the England Under-17 side.
