One of Everton's most recognisable 'behind the scenes' figures Dave Harrison is set to leave the club.
The director of football operations - known as 'Contract Dave' because he is often pictured smiling alongside new club signings - is departing to join Manchester United. The move ends a 27 year career with the Blues.
He was appointed to the role in June 2018 after 16 years as club secretary, having been manager of the ticket office for seven years prior to that promotion. Everton today thanked him for his "outstanding dedication" to the club while Harrison said he will reflect fondly on his time at Goodison Park.
