U23s Leban and Quirk sign new deals
Zan-Luk Leban and Sebastian Quirke have agreed terms on a contract extension that tie them to Everton for another year.
Both the Slovenian-born keeper and the midfielder's previous deals were to expire this summer but they are now contracted to the club until 2023.
“I'm very happy to sign this new deal,” Leban told evertontv. “Everton are a big club and I'm buzzing to keep learning and progressing as a goalkeeper.
“I believe I've strengthened every aspect of the game since I joined the club.

“Off the pitch, I've grown a lot as a person, too. We've got some great goalkeepers here — Harry Tyrer, Billy Crellin — we all push each other to be better.
“The whole atmosphere inside the club is really positive, with nice people. It's a good environment to work in.”
Meanwhile, Quirk spoke of his happiness at putting pen to paper on new terms:
“It's an amazing feeling for me, especially being a Blue,” he told the official site. “I'm delighted to be able to extend my time here.
“I've supported this club since I was a kid. It's a dream to play for Everton. The atmosphere around the Club is so positive. Everyone wants to work together and progress."

Leban has looked good when I have watched him, he has a presence and has a very good fighting chance of making it.
Harry Tyrer – I've got a soft spot for him as he went to my old school in Crosby. He looks the best at the moment and a natural, it will be great to see how he progresses. The 3½-year contract the club gave him in January tell syou he is rated highly.
Crellin I haven't seen, but came with glowing reports… maybe Phill or Brent could give us their thoughts.

I believe Jack Barrett's contract is now up, so he must be moving on.
Jak Stewart too was supposedly in a trial at Blackburn recently so presumably he's off too.
We've got another keeper called Pickford (George) at U16 who may be one of the new Scholars.
We do seem to collect young keepers without much success, Tyrer has been our best in recent years.

Jack Barrett was sub for the first half of the season, and got to play a couple of games, but then disappeared in December, with Crellin coming on board at the end of January. Barrett is still listed on the official website but I can't find any mention of him since December.
