Everton youngster Harry Tyrer has completed a season-long loan deal to National League club Chester.
The 20-year-old goalkeeper has represented the senior side in a pre-season friendly back in 2020 against Preston North End but is yet to make his senior debut for the club. Last season was spent representing the Under-23 side in Premier League 2 and the shotstopper was rewarded with being named in three matchday squads for Frank Lampard's side.
After signing a contract extension in January which will see Tyrer stay at the club until 2025, the decision has been made for him to gain valuable first-team experience to further his career.

“For us to be able to bring a player with Harry’s pedigree to this level is huge for us," Chester manager Calum McIntyre said on the club's official website.
“As much as this is his first loan away from Everton, his experience in and around their first team squad is hugely significant and I feel this is a really good piece of business in adding a goalkeeper of his quality to our group.
“I am so pleased that Everton have trusted us with the next stage of Harry’s development and to be loaning a player that has had significant exposure in a Premier League club’s first team environment is such a positive for our football club.
“I now feel the Goalkeeper department is in a really strong place.
“With Harry’s addition, we now have three really capable young goalkeepers with very different backgrounds, experiences and are in different stages of their career and we look forward to working with all three of them during the coming campaign.”
