Everton midfielder Lewis Warrington is delighted with his form on-loan at Fleetwood Town.

Warrington has won praise from Fleetwood assistant manager Steven Whittaker.

Whittaker said: “Lewis has been great. He is a great centre midfielder for us. He constantly wants the ball so for the moments when we try and play we know he never hides - he wants on that ball. He gets us through the thirds in a certain way and helps us build play. His stats and his work rate are second to none. He has been a big part of what we have done."

Warrington also told the Liverpool Echo: “I've enjoyed the games more. In League Two the ball is in the air more and it was going over my head a little bit too much. Here we try and get it down and play, and we do that against the big teams as well. I've loved it, it has probably been the perfect loan up to now. I've learned loads off the gaffer and his staff and have got loads better as a player in a positional sense...

"It's been really successful. I've learned loads, how keeping it simple is sometimes best, playing quick and keeping it one-two touch then finding new spaces to get onto the ball, and also putting more tackles in and reading the game well and landing on second balls. My whole game has improved."
