NBA great Kidd joins Everton ownership group

NBA great Jason Kidd has joined Everton's American ownership group.

The double Olympic champion and 10-time NBA All-Star, who is currently head coach of the Dallas Mavericks, has joined Roundhouse Capital Holdings, which is part of The Friedkin Group.

The Texas-based group completed its takeover of Everton in December 2024.

Kidd, who also won the 2011 NBA Championship as a player with the Mavericks, becomes the latest high-profile American to invest in British football.

Fourteen Premier League clubs are partly owned by investors from the United States, while former NFL defensive end JJ Watt is a minority owner at newly promoted Burnley and legendary quarterback Tom Brady is similarly involved with League One winners Birmingham City.
