Everton fullback Tony Hibbert has made a successful U21 playing return after four months on the sidelines.

Hibbert, who has undergone calf surgery, managed 67 minutes in a 1-1 against Fulham, with the club Tweeting that the long-serving right-back enjoyed a "solid outing".

Hibbert last played for the first team in December but looks set to be available for duty again before the end of the season.
