Jarrad Branthwaite - Defender
On Monday 13th January 2020, defender Jarrad Branthwaite signed a two-and-a-half-year deal until the end of June 2022, linking up with the Blues’ Under-23s team.
Jarrad detailed his excitement about taking the next step in his career at Everton and explained why he believes the Club provides a perfect environment for him to progress.
“The pathway is superb – that’s what made me want to join Everton."
“I’ve seen those players get their chance in the first team and do well."
“I just can’t wait to get started. Everton is a big club and I’m buzzing to be here. The facilities at USM Finch Farm are unbelievable. I like everything about the place. I want to settle in, get to know all the boys and put in some good performances for the Under-23s. My long-term goal, 100 per cent, is to play for Everton first team in front of the great crowds at Goodison. That would be my dream.”
Branthwaite added he is savouring the prospect of learning from Everton Under-23s manager David Unsworth.
“All the experience he has can help me develop as a player. I’m really looking forward to working with him."
“As a player, I like to get the ball off the keeper and play out from the back – I’m good with both feet – but the main thing is I like to defend and stop the ball going into the back of the net. I love a clean sheet."
“I’m hungry to keep getting better and I believe I’m in the ideal place to do that.”
