Goalkeeper Nico Hansen has signed a first professional contract with Everton, penning a two-year deal until June 2021.



The 17-year-old USA youth international has been rewarded for his impressive progress since moving to Everton from his home country in 2017.



The talented stopper set out his resolve to continue working hard and developing his game.



“Signing this deal is a proud moment for me and my family,” he told evertonfc.com. “It’s everything I’ve been working towards these past two years.



“Since I first arrived here, it’s been fantastic. It’s been like a family. It’s a great environment to be in and everyone is so supportive.



“Now I just want to repay the support the Club has shown in me by becoming the best goalkeeper I can be.”
