Simms Eager To Progress After Signing Everton Pro Deal

Ellis Simms wants to keep scoring goals and progressing his all-round game at Everton after signing his first professional contract with the Club.

The 18-year-old striker has been rewarded for an outstanding season for the Blues’ Under-18s – which saw him score 46 goals in all competitions – with a professional deal as he looks to make the step up to David Unsworth’s double-winning Under-23s in 2019-20.

Simms joined Everton Academy aged 16 and the powerful forward believes the Club’s proven track record for developing young talent gives him the ideal platform to push on.
