Stephen Duke-McKenna 68
A skilful left winger, Duke-McKenna was born in Liverpool and is eligible to play for Guyana, Holland and Republic of Ireland, as well as England.
Duke-McKenna signed scholarship forms with Everton in 2016 and became a regular for the Under-18s. The following season, he started most of the Under-18s games but did not graduate to the Under-23s or play any games in Premier League 2.
So it was rather surprising that Duke-McKenna was made part of the Everton first-team squad for the Europa League dead rubber against Apollon Limassol in Nicosia, sitting the game out on the subs bench. More surprisingly after that seemingly important rookie ritual, he was one of 8 players at U-18 level who would be released by Everton at the end of the season.
Back in March 2018, he had appeared as a trialist for Burnley in their Under-23s side tht suffered a 2-1 defeat at home to Hull City. While Duke-McKenna's exit was not formally announced until May, it is not uncommon for the club to sanction trial spells for academy players in the Spring – giving them an extended period in which to secure new employment.
