Everton, Celtic scout teenage non-league star Jake Hibbs

Mossley starlet Jake Hibbs is interesting Everton and Celtic.

Both clubs will have scouts watch Hibbs when they take on North Ferriby United in the FA Youth Cup on Thursday night.

The 15-year-old midfielder has a string of clubs currently chasing him and has already turned down an offer from League Two Rotheram.

Mossley Under-18s manager Rob Byrne is not surprised by the interest in his star player, seeing as he has picked up four man of the match awards in 11 games.

Byrne said: "Jake has courted a lot of interest from a number of clubs. Everton are the latest ones to come in, Celtic have been to watch him and he has already turned down a request to go to Rotherham. He will be playing on Thursday."
