Everton boss Dave Moyes is pleased to have landed former Wigan goalkeeper Carlo Nash on a one-year deal.

"It's never easy when you are looking to sign a second goalkeeper and we needed someone who was going to come in and push Tim Howard," said Moyes, who has the option to extend the stopper's stay by a further 12 months.

He also told evertonfc.com: "We had Stefan Wessels before Carlo and he did a great job for us last season.

"We have also got Iain Turner and John Ruddy but ideally we would like to get them out on loan.

"But for that to happen, we need to have someone behind Tim who has experience and won't be bothered by playing in big games, if he is needed.

"Carlo has got that and I'm sure that he will be a big asset over the next two seasons."
