Under-21s Player of the Season Isaac Heath has signed a new two-year contract with Everton until the end of June 2027.
Having joined the Blues’ Academy from boyhood club Leeds United at the age of 13, Heath has progressed through the age ranks at Finch Farm and impressed in the Under-18s, making 25 appearances for them during the 2021/22 season.
Since then, Heath has been a mainstay of Paul Tait’s Under-21s for the past few seasons, featuring regularly in Premier League 2 and the EFL Trophy.
Six goal contributions in 16 Premier League 2 games saw him named Player of the Season for the Under-21s in 2024/25, while the 20-year-old was named four times in David Moyes’ Premier League matchday squads later in the season, as well as training with the Men’s Senior Teams on several occasions.
Heath also demonstrated his versatility across the campaign, operating in his usual position on the flank as well as in central midfield and even at full-back when required.
“I’m delighted to extend my stay at Everton, and hopefully I can push on from here,” Heath told evertonfc.com.
“I feel like last season was really good for the squad, and for myself, as well.
“I got a lot of minutes and I thought as a team we played really well throughout the season. Now we’re just looking to push on again this year and see where things go.
“The aim now is try to impress the first-team staff and hopefully get into that squad, but if not then maybe we’ll look at loan deal elsewhere.”
Heath joins Eli Campbell, Coby Ebere and Jack Patterson as young professionals who have signed extended terms this summer. Harvey Foster, Aled Thomas, Ceiran Loney and Luca Davis have also penned their first professional contracts during the break.
