Everton have appointed Carl Darlington as their new Head of Academy Coaching. The ECHO understands that Darlington has become the latest new face among the Blues backroom staff as director of football Kevin Thelwell continues his restructuring process.
Darlington, who was Head of Coach Education for the Football Association of Wales, replaces former Everton midfielder John Ebbrell, who has moved to the new role of Player Development Senior Coach. Darlington, who has also worked as first team coach at Wrexham since 2017 and was assistant manager at TNS between 2015-17, took to Twitter on Monday to announce his exit from his previous role.
He said: “I’ve been so fortunate to be part of the FAW Trust/FAW for 17 years. As a proud Welshman, it’s with a heavy heart, I’ve decided to take on a new challenge.
