38-year-old Ashley Young signs 1-year deal with Everton
Everton have signed free agent Ashley Young on a one-year deal after the full-back left Aston Villa this summer.
Young, 38, becomes Everton’s first signing under manager Sean Dyche and has joined the club on their pre-season training camp in Switzerland.
“I am delighted to be an Everton player and to have joined this massive club,” former England player Young said.
“I can’t wait for the season to start and walking out at Goodison Park is going to be an unbelievable feeling and to hear the passionate fans behind me.
“The manager was important in me signing. I know him and know what his passion and desire is like. His honesty, will to work hard and his hunger for the game is second to none.”
Former Burnley boss Dyche took over in January, replacing sacked Frank Lampard, and guided the club to Premier League survival on the final day of the season.
