A commanding and confident goalkeeper, Adam is also considered a competent leader.

Following a lengthy injury absence, the youngster finally broke into the Under-18s team in 2008/09.

It was his first campaign as a full-time scholar, having initially joined Everton’s Academy set-up when he was 14.

Adam then travelled to the USA with the first team on a pre-season tour in July 2011 and was a mainstay of Alan Stubbs' reserve side for the 2011/12 campaign.

Davies was released by Everton in May 2012.
