Season › 2024-25 › News Issac Heath signs a new 2-year contract with Everton Michael Kenrick 10/07/2025 2comments | Jump to last It was heavily rumoured that Under-21s Player of the Season Isaac Heath had signed a new 3-year contract with Everton last month but no definitive news was forthcoming. And finally, the real situation has been confirmed by the club with the announcement today that the lively attacking midfielder has now signed a 2-year contract. 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 for duty on the substitutes bench four times in David Moyes’s Premier League matchday squads later in the season, as well as training with the first team on several occasions. Heath also demonstrated his versatility across the campaign, operating in his usual “I’m delighted to extend my stay at Everton, and hopefully I can push on from here, 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.” Reader Comments (2) Note: the following content is not moderated or vetted by the site owners at the time of submission.

You have done really well in the U21s so your new contract is well deserved. Next step to the first team squad is massive and there will probably be many ups and downs trying to get there. Keep your head up, your confidence high and try to take in everything you are taught. Hopefully we will get to see you in the first team squad very soon. Craig Scott 2 Posted 10/07/2025 at 20:48:19 Hopefully we'll give young prospects like this player a real opportunity to step up and prove themselves in our first team. Doesn't seem to happen much at Everton nowadays.In our search for expensive 'ready-made' players to fit into our first-team squad over the years, we seem to have overlooked that all of them had to be given a chance to step up at some stage by their first-team managers. Why can't that be us?
