Tim Cahill has revealed that his 11-year-old son Shae is training at Everton's academy.

The former Everton star, 36, took to Twitter to share his delight that his second oldest child is spending time at the Blues renowned academy in Halewood.

Aussie father-of-four Cahill, who currently plays for Hangzhou Greentown in China, has remained an Evertonian since bringing his eight-year spell at Goodison to an end in 2012.

The fans' favourite regularly tweets about the Blues and tries to watch all their games wherever he is around the world.

And his love for the Toffees has clearly rubbed off on football-mad Shae, who is in Merseyside training at the moment while some of Cahill's family are in the UK.

Cahill, who also played for New York Red Bull in the MLS, was born in Sydney but moved to England at a young age to pursue a career in football, eventually getting a contract at Milwall.

He went on to make 249 appearances for the Lions and 278 for Everton under David Moyes , and has 88 caps for Australia.

Could Shae now be hoping for a similar career path as his dad?
