Everton have completed the signing of veteran goalkeeper Andy Lonergan on a deal until the end of the season.

The 37-year-old played for the Toffees rivals Liverpool in 2019-20 and last season had spells at Stoke and West Brom.

Lonergan has been signed as an experienced back up option.

"We have an injury to [Harry] Tyrer, the young keeper, and then we signed Andy Lonergan as a back-up," Everton boss Rafael Benitez said.

"He is a player that can give us some experience, because we needed to sort out this problem just in case.

"So we have a new signing - but it is a player that maybe nobody was expecting."
