Everton announced on Thursday that midfielder Joe Williams had joined Bolton Wanderers on loan for the 2018-19 campaign.

Williams came through the youth system at Everton, and is highly rated at Goodison Park despite not yet making his first-team debut for the club.

The midfielder spent last season on loan with Barnsley in the Championship – scoring once in 38 appearances in all competitions.

The Everton fans absolutely raved about the performance of Williams for Everton’s Under-23 outfit earlier this week, and had hoped to see him in the first team this season.

However, Williams has now joined Bolton on loan.

The midfielder will be looking for another full season of Championship football before returning to Goodison Park to battle for a first-team spot next summer.
