Former Everton coach Gary Brabin has revealed he told his old club to make a move for David Raya.
Brabin left his position as manager of Southport to take a coaching role at Everton’s academy, working with the club’s Under-21 side, back in January 2015 after just three months with the Sandgrounders.
The now 52-year-old eventually moved on to Tranmere Rovers the following summer, taking over from Micky Adams in the Prenton Park hotseat following the club’s relegation from Sky Bet League Two to the Conference.
