Luke Butterfield has become the eighth summer signing for Paul Cook’s side, signing a two-year-deal after a successful trial.
The youngster has played in every pre-season fixture so far and has impressed in the centre of midfield.
Last season, he played 18 times for Everton’s various sides, scoring twice and providing three assists – two of his appearances came in the Vertu Trophy.
He was also on the bench for Everton’s FA Cup fixture against Peterborough United and their Carabao Cup tie against Southampton.
Butterfield has also played for Scotland at U16 and U19 level, winning five caps for the latter.
Speaking on his move, he said: “It’s a pleasure to finally get the deal sorted. I’m excited for the season ahead.
“I came in [on trial] and my main goal was just to impress the staff. It looks like I have to receive a deal. I’m excited to showcase what I can do.”
