Billy Mercer has joined Everton as Goalkeeping Coach on a short-term basis.

The Liverpool-born former shot-stopper, who previously worked with manager Sean Dyche at Burnley, will cover for Men’s Senior Team Goalkeeping Coach Alan Kelly, who is set to undergo a knee operation.

Mercer will be present at the Blues' pre-season camp in Lake Geneva to work with Jordan Pickford, Joao Virginia, Andy Lonergan and Billy Crellin.
