Everton have completed the signing of 17-year-old defender Matty Foulds from Bury.

The two clubs agreed an undisclosed fee for the Shakers' academy graduate back in November and Foulds is now officially a Toffees player after the transfer window reopened.

Foulds signed his first professional contract with League One club Bury in February.

He made two first-team appearances for David Flitcroft's side, in the Capital One Cup clash with Leicester and the Johnstone's Paint Trophy game against Accrington.

Since the move was agreed, Foulds - a left-footed centre-back who can also operate as a full-back - has appeared on a trial basis for Everton's U18 and U21 sides.
