Everton youngster Tom Davies has pledged his future to the club by signing a new five-year deal at Goodison Park.
The 18-year-old midfielder made his debut for Everton last season as a substitute in the 1-1 draw with Southampton, then managed by new Toffees boss Ronald Koeman, in April.
He started the 3-0 victory over Norwich on the final day of the 2015/16 season and has appeared in three of Everton's four pre-season fixtures ahead of the new campaign.
"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."
