Everton made a trio of appointments on Monday with the aim of raising the game of their Academy.
New director of football Kevin Thelwell oversaw the changes to the coaching set up, one where former Wolverhampton Wanderers Academy coach Gavin Prosser arrived in the role of Academy director, with Paul Tait stepping up to be under-21s coach and Everton hero Leighton Baines becoming U18s coach.
The moves were done with a clear goal in mind, one that the club hope will aid their fortunes both on and off the pitch.
