Everton's teenage defender Shane Duffy has joined Scunthorpe United on loan.

He joins the League One outfit on an initial one-month deal and could feature in their game against Colchester this weekend.

Duffy, currently on international duty with the Republic of Ireland Under-21 squad, has been a reserve team regular over the last two seasons.

The 19-year-old also has two senior appearances in Europe under his belt and spent time on loan at Burnley last season.
