Young goalkeeper signs extended contract at Everton after winning promotion at Chesterfield

The 22-year-old, who has been on loan at Chesterfield this season, has penned a one-year extension until June 2026.

The boyhood Toffee has been at the club since he was seven and has risen through the ranks.

After a loan spell at Chester, he then joined the Spireites last summer, helping them win the National League title and promotion to the EFL, recording 12 clean sheets along the way.

“It’s a boyhood dream of mine to be at this club and it’s probably every Evertonians’ dream to be at this club,” he told Everton’s official club website.

“I’ve worked hard this season and that’s come with a lot of rewards. Last season, it was Chester. This season, it was Chesterfield. I’ve grown up a lot in the lower leagues and I’ve definitely come on leaps and bounds as a goalkeeper.

“I’ve enjoyed it a lot. I’ve grown up as a young player. It’s been a positive learning curve and it’s been great winning the league and enjoying that.”

Tyrer also said it would be his ‘dream’ to play for Everton’s first-team at either Goodison Park or their new Bramley-Moore Dock stadium.

But before then the young stopper would be open to returning to Chesterfield for another season on loan.

On Tyrer’s new contract, Everton director of football, Kevin Thelwell, said: “We’re delighted for Harry to extend his deal with the club. He’s a very promising young goalkeeper and we’ve been really impressed by his development over the years.

“We’ve kept in close contact with him throughout his time on loan and we believe he’s made the right steps so far in his career. We look forward to seeing him continue his progression at the club.”

Chesterfield finish their season at home to Maidenhead United on Saturday.
