Everton midfielder Leon Osman says he'll tone down his pranks for the club's tour of Australia.

Known for his practical jokes on away trips, Osman says he'll not be plotting this time.

"I am looking forward to going to Australia though it will be a long flight," he told evertontv.

"I am known as a prankster on these trips," he laughed. "But on a 22 hour flight you need to sleep yourself at some point!

"If you've played pranks on the others while they have been asleep then they will get me back! I think it will be tough for me on the plane!"
