Young forward Graham joined Everton from Northern-Irish side Linfield in 2024, becoming a first-year scholar with the Blues’ Under-18s.

While with Linfield, he made his NIFL Premiership debut as a 15-year-old, becoming the club’s youngest player in their history.

Graham, a Northern Ireland youth international, scored his first senior goal in December 2023 aged 16-years-old, and after signing for the Toffees, recording a goal and an assist in the Under-18s opening league game – a 2-1 home victory over Stoke City.

A standout performer in his debut season, Graham netted 10 goal contributions in 12 league games for the Under-18s, before making his first Premier League 2 appearance in February 2025.

Often operating in an attacking-midfield role, he struck five in eight for the Under-21s in the league.

During that season, Graham made three appearances for Northern Ireland Under-19s in qualifiers for the European Championships, scoring once in a 1-0 win against Albania.

Graham enjoyed a stellar 2025/26, registering 21 goals across 31 matches in all competitions.

Netting 12 times in Premier League 2, he was awarded Everton Under-21s’ Player of the Season.

He was particularly prolific in the FA Youth Cup, notching four goals in Everton’s opening three matches.

Graham earned a call-up to Everton’s senior matchday squad for the Toffees’ trip to take on Nottingham Forest in December, and later in the term, was named in the Northern Ireland Under-21s’ squads for friendly fixtures against Guinea and France.
