Justin Clarke has signed a new deal with Everton to 2028.

The winger joined Everton from AFC Wimbledon in September last year as a first-year scholar with the Under-18s, having become the south London club’s youngest-ever player when he made his senior debut aged 15 in November 2023.

“This contract is really good because it’s such a great club, so I’m pleased to be signing the new deal,” Clarke told evertonfc.com. “I learned from a lot of different coaches throughout last season, and I felt I developed my game in different areas.

“We did well as a team because there were moments where we struggled a bit, but we kept on pushing and fighting.

“I was always confident of coming in and doing well because I know my ability.

“I settled in quickly because it’s a close group, so it’s easy to get on with everyone. Moving away from home and staying with a good family was good for me personally, too.”
