Former Everton midfielder Tom Davies has returned to Finch Farm to maintain his fitness following his release from Sheffield United.

The 28-year-old Academy graduate, who rose through the ranks to captain the Blues and make 179 senior appearances between 2015 and 2023, is currently without a club after his contract expired at Bramall Lane. Everton have granted their former homegrown star permission to utilize the facilities at the club's Halewood training complex and train with Everton U21s to prepare for his next career move. 

Davies departed Goodison Park in the summer of 2023 after turning down a contract extension, subsequently joining Sheffield United upon their return to the Premier League. However, his spell in South Yorkshire was heavily disrupted by recurrent injury problems, limiting his ability to secure a regular starting place.

Tom Davies: Career Stats at Sheffield United

Across three seasons with the Blades — encompassing the Premier League, Championship, FA Cup, and Play-Offs — Davies registered the following official statistics:

Season Competition Apps Starts Goals Assists Minutes
2023–24 Premier League 9 2 0 0 214'
2024–25 EFL Championship 13 7 1 0 669'
2024–25 Championship Play-Offs 3 0 0 0 34'
2025–26 EFL Championship 10 3 0 0 337'
2025–26 FA Cup 1 0 0 0 20'
Total All Competitions 36 12 1 0 1,274'

While Evertonians will always fondly remember his iconic solo goal against Manchester City in January 2017, the club's welcoming gesture underlines the strong ongoing bond between Davies and his boyhood club.

Tom Davies then scored a fantastic almost solo goal to make it three!! Picking up the ball deep and going on an excellent run, with a superb trick to totally fool Toure and then getting the ball back from Barkley to finish with a delightful chip over Bravo, Lukaku running in to try and claim the final touch. The 18-year-old was well mobbed by the entire team in front of the old Boys Pen.

Decent player, hope he finds a club at some stage.

Always extra pressure on home grown players at home town club. Sadly the constant injuries didn't help him, and the constant change of managers, playing him in different positions, didn't help. Hope he finds a club, especially as he's only 28.

He always gave it his all, which should be a given for all players, but sadly isn't.
I wish him well on finding a club that he can flourish at.
When fit he would be an asset to any side outside the Premier League.
