Everton youngster Calum Dyson has joined non-league Stockport County on a youth loan.

The Academy forward links up with Blues team-mate Jordan Thorniley who signed on a short-term deal at Edgeley Park earlier this summer.

County boss Neil Young is thrilled to add the 18-year-old to his ranks and thanked Everton for making the deal happen.

He said: “Calum is a goalscorer and, as well as scoring for the under-18s, scored for the u-21s when they were in Ireland not so long ago.

“Everton rate him highly; he was one of only two youth players to get two-year pro contracts and they aren’t easy to get from a professional club.

“We’re thankful, again, for Everton’s co-operation and we’re grateful that they’re trusting us with the development of their players.”

Stockport play in the National League North and start their season on Saturday at home to Boston United.
