Everton youngster Jack Butler has set his sights on catching Sean Dyche’s eye after signing his first professional contract with the club.
Born and raised in Liverpool, the 17-year-old joined Everton’s Academy at the age of 13 and made 12 appearances for Leighton Baines’ side last season. The defender also featured on two occasions in the FA Youth Cup.
A former St Francis Xavier’s College pupil, Butler has developed a reputation for being an energetic left-back who likes to defend and get forward, much like his under-18s boss did during his playing days.
