Everton midfielder Lewis Warrington has joined Fleetwood Town on loan for the rest of this season.

The 19-year-old academy star has signed for the League One club chasing first team football.

He impressed during a loan spell at Tranmere Rovers last term, resulting in him signing a two-year contract with Everton that takes him to 2024.

Warrington was impressive in pre-season for the Toffees, but is being loaned out to continue his development.

Everton see him as a first-team player of the future, but he will have to earn his stripes on loan this season.
