He signed in early 2009, was badly injured, then played a handful of games at the back end of 2009 (at a time when we had Hibbert and Club Captain Phil Neville as cover at RB) then was loaned out in early 2010. The season after he played over 30 games.
He was at Blackpool for an initial one month loan, then extended it until the end of the season and helped them get promotion. Coleman has talked about the benefit of it, helping him get confidence to play at a higher level.
“I’d done quite well at Blackpool so I went back to Everton with a lot of confidence from that, knowing that I could play at that level and it really did help kick-start my career at the club.”

Everton's 50 Academy Graduates In The Premier League Era
Latest news from Everton Football Clubwww.evertonfc.com
I always regard gaining England honours as a mark of success as a player, and in the near 30 years of the PL era, our academy graduates have earned just 160 England caps. If you strip out Rooney and Barkley, that number falls to 7. In total we've had 6 academy players in 30 years go on to earn an England cap. Our academy is just a bit rubbish.

If I agreed with you, we’d both be wrong.
He'll bag 5 and we'll all say "I knew he was good enough".
Against what odds?
U23 football is terrible, nobody takes it seriously.
Without googling, who won the U23 title last year? I bet you don't know, cos nobody cares till we win it.
All the other teams best players are out on loan, I mean we are literally playing 28 year old Matty Pennington in our "u23" side.
Chelsea had a transfer ban !ast season the yougsters that came in they had a better last season then than so far buying expensive players ......

Good for his development, I hope he does well there.
That's because they've got good players Joe. In 1 season 5 Chelsea youngsters earned England caps (27 of them in total), which is practically what our entire academy has produced in 30 years.

Please don’t post this on the youth team thread Bruce. They’d hunt you down.
Probably wins trophies because everyone else’s best young players are in the first team squads.
Or out on loan playing proper football like *checks thread title* Ellis Simms.
