Ellis Simms has signed his first professional contract for Everton, the club’s Under-23 boss David Unsworth has confirmed.
Simms, who has made three appearances for Everton’s Under-23 side this term, has scored a staggering 37 times in 25 games at youth level this season.
The 18-year-old’s previous deal was due to expire this summer.
However, Unsworth has confirmed that Simms has penned fresh terms.
The Everton fans have been on social media reacting to the news, and as expected, a large number have revealed their delight.
Simms is seemingly some distance from being involved with the first team, but a strong run of performances for the Under-23s next season will surely put him in the thinking of head coach Marco Silva sooner rather than later.
