Luke Garbutt joined Everton from Leeds United in the summer of 2009.

The left-sided defender switched from the Yorkshire side's academy to sign on as a scholar with the Blues.

Highly-rated, Garbutt can play at left-back, in central defence or in midfield and has already played for England's Under-16s, Under-17s and Under-19s.

Garbutt adjusted quickly to life at Everton, featuring for the Under-18s and reserve sides.

He played in the first-team friendly against Bohemians in August 2011 and joined League Two Cheltenham Town on loan shortly after.

After helping the Robins to the League Two play-off final Garbutt returned to Everton and made his senior debut as a second half substitute in the 5-0 League Cup win over Leyton Orient in August 2012.

Contracted until: June 2013.
