Talented right-back Tyias is a third-year scholar known for his quick pace and physical strength.

Born in Liverpool, the youngster joined Everton in 2004 and has since gone on to record some impressive achievements during his time at the Club. 

He made a handful of appearances for Everton's Under-18s during the 2009/10 season, and was also a part of the Blues' 2010 FA Youth Cup squad.

Tyias was also selected as a part of a new crop of England Under-17 internationals for the annual Nordic Tournament, alongside Everton Academy teammate John Lundstram.

He is also eligible to represent China at international level.

In June 2011, it was announced Tyias had signed a two-year professional contract with the Club, just weeks after he had helped Everton to the Under-18s national title.

He is now a regular for the reserve team and, in April 2012, helped the Blues reach the last four of the Dallas Cup. 

Contracted until: June 2013.
