Young midfielder Sean McAllister signs contract extension with Everton
Everton Under-21 midfielder Sean McAllister has signed a one-year contract extension with the club, confirmed by the official website on Friday.
The Northern Ireland Under-17 international’s previous contract came to an end on June 30 but he has been rewarded by the Toffees’ management after showing impressive performances.
While talking to the club’s website, McAllister stated excitement over the development by saying: “It feels brilliant to sign this contract. Myself and my family are so happy, as I’ve loved being at Everton ever since I joined three years ago.”
Everton director of football Kevin Thelwell also heaped praise on the youngster by stating: “We are very pleased Sean has signed a new contract.
“Sean has a lot of the key elements you require as a midfielder – technical ability, energy, composure and a strong work ethic – and we are looking forward to helping him continue to progress.”
Good business
Everton had a history of producing top-quality talent with the likes of Wayne Rooney being at the top of that list.
The contract extension of McAllister will be a step in going back to the roots that bring a lot of success for the club in its rich history.
With Everton coming off the back of a difficult season where they narrowly managed to escape relegation, it was important for them to ensure that the club spend properly on the academy to groom future stars who can serve the side for years to come.
The attacking midfielder is one of the top young talents in the country and has been at the club since the summer of 2019 when he joined the U18 side.
In his young career, the Randalstown-born has played 54 matches across all competitions where he has managed to score 14 times and provided 10 assists [Transfermarkt].
