Staying with Toffees Young signed a one-year contract with Everton, stating "it was a no-brainer."

Impact Young was thrown into the starting group almost out of necessity the second half of last season and he provided, finishing with 27 starts and more than 2,200 league minutes, his most in five years. It's unlikely he'll have the same kind of role at 39 years old, but his versatility allowed him to start in numerous positions when needed and it could again be a calling card for minutes in the coming season.

Impact Young will be missing his fourth match in a row on Saturday, as he has been unable to shake off an undisclosed injury he picked up against Chelsea on Jan. 10. Based on manager Sean Dyche's quotes, the player looks to be recovering well, and will hopefully be an option for their first match of 2024 against Aston Villa on Jan. 14.
