Efforts to strengthen Everton behind the scenes are continuing. That work is running through a host of departments, across Finch Farm and beyond with the search for academy and first team analysts underway.

 

On top of that hunt, changes have been made to the recruitment team. Nathan Fisher, who was a senior European scout for the club, has been appointed to the role of head of emerging talent.

Colin Rooney, who spent a decade scouting in Europe for Toronto FC, has been appointed in his place.

At the other end of the club’s scouting operation the club advertised for a schoolboy-level expert earlier this month. The successful candidate for the role of pre-academy recruitment lead will focus on spotting and recruiting the best possible Under-8s players each season and on identifying and retaining high-potential players at the U5-U8s levels.

At Finch Farm, the club is looking to hire a new first team performance analyst as importance continues to be placed on the facts and figures that underpin training and performance as part of efforts to drive progress on the pitch.

The job description, available on the Training Ground Guru website, explains: “Performance Analysis has come to play an integral role in football; we are continuing to look at how we gain a competitive edge on and off the pitch.

“We feel that by using data and video to extract insights we can improve player performance and measure our alignment to our coaching philosophy… the role will focus on providing football analysis support to all the relevant first team staff and players, where you will support and contribute to opposition analysis processes, match day performance and post match analysis.”
