Leeds United have signed Everton youngster Zac Thompson to a six month contract.
The 18-year-old midfielder will spend the remainder of the season with the Championship high-flyers.
The youngster has appeared in Leeds' Under-18s and in friendly matches, but not a competitive reserve game for the club.
Thompson will be hoping to impress between now and the summer in a bid to win a longer deal or even feature in Simon Grayson's first team.
