Everton have announced seven former academy youngsters have signed pro terms.
The seven players are goalkeeper Russell Griffiths (aged 18), defenders Jonjoe Kenny (17), Curtis Langton and Gethin Jones (both 18), midfielders Joe Williams and Harry Charsley and forward Calum Dyson (all 17).
Kenny, a European Championship winner with England Under-17s earlier this summer, and fellow Liverpudlian Williams have both signed three-year deals, keeping them at Goodison Park until at least the end of the 2016/17 campaign.
Griffiths, Charsley and Dyson have agreed terms for two years, while Jones and Langton have penned one-year deals.
