Gethin Jones has joined Fleetwood Town on a permanent deal for an undisclosed fee.
The 22-year-old right-back has signed a two-and-a-half-year deal with the League One club, who currently sit 12thin the table, eight points off the play-off spots.
Having joined Everton’s Academy at the age of 12, Jones progressed through the ranks and lifted the Under-18s Premier League title as co-captain alongside Russell Griffiths in 2014.
The Wales Under-21 international penned his first professional contract later that summer and made his solitary Everton first-team appearance in December that year when replacing Tyias Browning late on in the Europa League tie against Krasnodar at Goodison.
