Everton are giving a trial to Brazilian right-back Felipe Mattioni.

The 26-year-old played for the club's U21 side in their 3-1 win over Norwich City at Southport on Tuesday night.

Mattioni is a free agent and has an Italian passport. He has played for Gremio, AC Milan, Real Mallorca and Espanyol.

However, he has also been hindered by injuries throughout his career, making just 13 league appearances for Gremio, 10 for Espanyol, 20 for Mallorca and a solitary appearance on loan for Milan in 2009 which lasted one minute.

Mattioni played 85 minutes of Everton’s 3-1 defeat of Norwich, giving away a penalty which James Loza converted but then getting brought down himself allowing Everton to equalise via a Jonjoe Kenny penalty.

Bryan Oviedo and summer signing Mason Holgate also figured for Everton with Holgate scoring Everton's second before Callum Connolly grabbed Everton's third.
