RODWELL SIGNS DEAL
@efc_mattgamble
Jack Rodwell has signed a professional deal with Everton.
The defender made his Premier League debut at Sunderland earlier this month and put pen to paper on a two-year deal just days after his 17th birthday.
The length of the deal is the maximum permitted for a player of his age.
The Birkdale-born youngster has been enjoying his time with the first team squad and is hoping to be further involved this season.
Rodwell told evertonfc.com: "I'm really pleased to get it signed, I have just been waiting for my 17th birthday.
"It was a really good week, making my debut then signing the contract - and there was my birthday as well!
"It's been good being around the first team recently, they are all top quality players and it's great to be involved."
With the contract signed, Jack is keen to carry on his progress over the coming months.
He added: "I just want to stay around (the first team) as much as I can and play if I am needed.
"Then hopefully I'll have a good pre-season and go from there next season."

Frank WilsonWhy not recall Jutkiewicz at this time of striking crisis. Start to put some faith in these young lads. Better than playing Lescott as a striker.
